Title: Unable to login
Post by: waris on August 03, 2019, 11:55:47 AM
Hi everybody,

I found a new theme and downloaded it and had it installed.
I was using the "Rusty White Theme" for my family forum for a few years without any problem.
I wanted a new lighter look for the forum and looked for a new theme.
I found this theme and installed it,
It is called The South Theme.

Everything nice and a fresh new look.
The problem is the Login does not recognised my Username and password.
I registered a new Username and Password and was accepted and able to login.
Today when I tried to login I received a time out Error message.

How can I solve this problem please, grateful for any help.

Thank you.

Where did you download it from, here or somewhere else?

Add this to the end of your site url, and it should switch you back to the default theme. ?theme=1

I notice the South theme from here, https://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2925

Although it says compatible with 2.0.15 it doesn't have the session check included in the login form.  So you'll get a error on login.  https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Login_error_2.0.14

There's also two zips to download, not sure what the difference is if any, but neither have the session check added as far as I can see.

Hi all,
I tried Diego's suggestion, but it still did not work?

I am still timed out.

You're in the wrong place, that's the OpenID login.  Look for 'lazy bums', add session check to login below that.  Can't be more help, not on my computer.

And please post code in [code][/code] tags.
