Simple Machines Community Forum

When people try to sign up to my forums, they get "error" when they click on the log in button.  I've looked all over this site and via Google to see how this can be resolved.

It doesn't appear to be a redirect issue: htxxp://michaelcrook.org/bbs [nonactive]

Any help would be appreciated...I've exhausted all other options at this point...no one can log in so I hope I can fix this.  But they can sign up??? 

Thanks.

Because they're likely using https://www.web.com instead of the URL you setup for the forum which is without the www

Okay, how do I fix that?  I'm looking for a config page where I can fix the title, url, etc.  I really like SMF and I want to keep it, so hopefully this can be resolved.  Thanks in advance for the help.

You can add a redirect in your cPanel.
Or add a rule to your htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]


Other option:

You can change the title of the forum at Admin -> Maintenance -> Server Settings -> General
You will need to use repair_settings.php (available from the Tools section of the downloads page) to fix the URL. See https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Repair_settings.php for more information on that.
