Users-> Next Page and Moderation not working

[adbie]

I seldom use the admincp but I just found at least 2 problems:

(1) I can't delete threads while doing moderation. After checking the Delete radiobutton and clicking Save in moderation panel, the threads will still appear again when I subsequently go to moderation panel again.

(2) In Users, I can't move to the next page when showing all users. No matter how many times I click on Next Page, it just shows the first 25. Apparently I can't do an exact match too - the search results will show "1-25 of xxxx", apparently returning the entire user list.

I have successfully upgraded to 3.8.4 Patch Level 1 and my forum seems to be working fine. It's only the admin and mod panels that are behaving in a weird way.

Thanks for any help.

It now seems that I can't save anything in admincp!

Am I missing anything?

Create a new style with no parent:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
Parent Style: No Parent Style
Title: Default vBulletin
Allow User Selection: Yes
Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

If it is still happening - Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Thanks for the reply.

I tried both your suggestions, but to no avail.

- Create new style -> doesn't work, because I can't save anything in admincp (and modcp)
- Disable hooks. -> Hooks are disabled, but still I can't save anything in admincp (and modcp)

I've also tried re-uploading all the vb files and gone through the 5-step installation process (no errors), but still I can't save anything in admincp and modcp.

Fortunately, the forum is still working normally. I can also delete posts and threads from within the main forum, but it's frustrating that I can't do any config update in admincp.

Appreciate any further help.

Found the problem!

It's the password protect feature from cpanel that I'm applying on modcp and admincp folders. I have a habit of adding a layer of authentication to sensitive areas of my websites. I know it's actually a simple .htaccess added to the applied folders.

It had worked for previous versions of vb, but obviously not for the latest 3.8.4pl1.

I tried disabling password protect, and of course it works! I also found that password protecting just the index.php apparently doesn't break the admincp. This is the new .htaccess I have:

<Files index.php>
AuthName "Access Denied!"
AuthUserFile "/home/mydir/.htpasswds/public_html/admincp/passwd"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
</Files>
