Board Validating IP information does not have a valid parent. Use the 'find and repair errors' function to fix this.

I get this when using a second Admin. account. Can't make changes to forums.

Upload repair_settings and see what's in it for tools I guess.

Until you settle on what you're going to do with your account domains and redirects you're going to have all kinds of problems.

I made all the changes.

The Host made seniorforums.ca the main domain. Then I ran the repair_settings.php. and made the name changes, which all went ok. But after contacting the Host about changing the name in the directories and paths, they now tell me that coffeeti is the user name of the Host and not to change the name..

See images of what I mean:

1. You cannot view this attachment.
2. You cannot view this attachment.

What bugs me is I have two members who are Global Moderators yet can not see or access the Admin. Staff Room. Try everything like clearing the cache, doing a F5 refresh, nothing works to make these members see the staff room..all the permissions are in place, I even went into there names and added them to the different sub groups, still nothing..

Something wrong here..

Your hosting is not changing the account name which is the problem. When you change the main domain name you should also change the account name as well. They either don't know what they are doing or can just create a new account with the name change and move your account to the new account...or don't wish to for some reason...

If they do not wish to make the change complete, then return everything to normal again. Then move the forum to a subdirectory, run repair_settings and make sure it works and then redirect the coffee domain to the seniors domain. Either way, if anyone tries to access either domain it should send them automatically to seniors.

I can return the forum back to what it use to be. Easy enough.

Now my problem is the rest of it, I have no clue on how to move the forum to a sub directory..

Do you know how to drag and drop files into a different folder in cPanel's File Manager? If not, then copy the files or download them. Create a subdirectory and upload all of the files to it along with repair_settings.php. Run repair_settings.php and make the necessary changes. If you run seniorsforums.ca in a browser then it should work.

Then you just have to create a redirect for the main account domain (coffeetimelimited.com, or whatever it is) to the new subdirectory for seniors. Both domains should then show the seniorsforums.ca forum.
