Re: Session Verification Failed=cannot enter forum

[Julia Truchsess]

I'm having a similar problem - I can't log into my own forum. When I enter my credentials I get

"The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:
Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message."

I haven't log in for some time so I have no idea when this first started.

[Kindred]

Next time, please start your own thread, especially since you are receiving a different error form the original poster.

Topic split.

What version of SMF?
what is the URL of your site?

[Julia Truchsess]

SMF 2.0.15

hxxp:www.z-temp.co/forum [nonactive]

The error I received was mentioned in the original thread, and I thought it was the same issue, sorry.

Thanks,
Julia

Edit: sorry, can't get the link tag to work here

Have you changed anything recently (theme, mods, etc.)?

[Julia Truchsess]

No, I haven't even logged in during the past few months.

sounds related to https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Login_error_2.0.14 as you are using a custom theme.

[Julia Truchsess]

My theme does not have any of the files mentioned: index.template.php, boardindex.template.php or login.template.php. It does have index.php, of course.

The forum has worked for me for years and I don't think I've done any manual upgrades to SMF; maybe an upgrade was pushed? Why else would it suddenly stop working? All my board icons disappeared a year or two ago, again without my having taken an action, but login continued to work. Users are logging in successfully because I can see new messages posted.

[Illori]

your theme has to have index.template.php or it would not function at all. double check it.

[Julia Truchsess]

Ah, it's in the Theme directory, I was looking in the site root.

Anyway, I did the patch and it worked, woohoo! Thanks all for the help!
