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>
