Title: user cannot sign in himself
Post by: hollermann on February 21, 2019, 04:21:20 PM
I updated version 2.0.15 to 2.1. After that I experience a few things that are not working properly. One is:

A user cannot sign in himself (Setting ist "Approval by Admin"). A message appears:

"An error has occurred
You are not allowed to access this section"

In previous version no difficulties occurred.

Any suggestion?

If the setting is 'approval by admin', did you approve the person's account?

It's not possible to approve, because the new user is not created.

I made an account with a disposable email address, did it get created?

We can close this topic, i found the solution.

Many thanks to Sir Osis and Arantor: yes, I can see your accounts!

Mistake: in section "spam" the number of questions has been set to 1, but no questions has been defined. After setting to 0 signing in was possible just with solving the picture. Setting to 1 and definig a questions works too.

Thank you very much!
