I added Wordpress and changed the mybb directory, now I can't login to MyBB forum. I am able to log into admin panel but after every click Admin Login comes up and I have to log in again.

I saw a similar thread here but the solution was not mentioned.

When I log in Mybb Forums, I get back to the log in page and the login is not successful. There are no error messages.

On the other thread, there was a mention of cookie problem; but I did not understand.

can anyone help?

thanks

you should edit inc/settings.php (edit 2 variables : bburl and cookiepath)

yes, I was just about to say make sure you have your cookie path set right.

Check the settings for cookies and cache and rebuild cahe - the most common reasons for giving that can not be logged.

Cookie paths is your problemo.

Can't login to admincp due to wrong cookie Path?

First:
Via FTP or cpanel file manager open the settings.php file (found in /inc/)

Second:
Edit the file and search and replace for all references to your old domain name, as in domain.com not http://www.domain.com or http://domain.com, or finally http://www.domain.com, by using only the domain.com part, you will replace both cookie and url settings correctly

Finally:
Save and re-upload the settings.php file and login to admincp to make sure the cookiepath, and board url settings point to new url also, if all goes according to plan the cookies will be correct settings.

The cookie path is the problem. It happened to me to when I switched over to a new server.
