Hey Everyone,

I've read numerous pages about login problems, and tryed all the solutions listed on the FAQ page - nothing worked. My problem is that the login boxes aren't appearing at all.

I recently upgraded to 1.3.11 from a version that was at least a couple of monthes old (not sure which one-sorry). Everything was working fine in the older version.

Side note: Part of the problem may be that I tried to let my web host "automatically" do the upgrade. This was a mistake on my part as it caused a TON of errors - all of which are cleared up except this one.

Thanks for your time,
Dana

Go to the Admin's block menu, find the block named "User Functions" and make sure it's activated and that its permissions are set properly (i.e. can be seen by anonymous users, etc.).

The "User Functions" block displays the login form when you're not logged in.

bye, Dirk

Thanks Dirk,

I did both of those but didn't solve the problem. (And double check as per your suggestion.) ... still no login ...

In your database (using phpMyAdmin or whatever's handy), check that the name of that block is "user_block" and that its type is "gldefault".

bye, Dirk

Thanks again for your help ... I'm posting this in case someone else runs into the same problem ...

Banging your head

I was worried about all this technical stuff and then I realised that the login block wasn't check to be available to anonymous users.

I'm a big DORK ... sorry to have waisted your time.

Thanks ... dana
