OK, I know this sounds stupid but I can't log into my Guest Book to make sure that I receive notification of GB entries. I know that I am entering it correctly. Solution?

Hi,

I am not sure what you are trying to do?
The only functions that request a password are: deleting a message; replying to a message and viewing IP of poster of a message.

To make sure you are receiving notification of a GB entry, you have to post an entry which does not require your password, only requires you typing the CAPTCHA.

For a quick try if this is really about your admin password and i misunderstood your question, you could try changing the password in the settings.php file. Maybe you have used some special characters in the password that are not liked? Try using only the letters of the alphabet and some numbers.

Greetings,
Henrie

You are correct. I wanted to make sure about the GB entry notification (I didn't receive one recently and I think there is an option to set that option)and I did try to view an IP address. I did notice the password worked on my EvenStephen GB but that same PWord did not work on theAngry book. It really isn't a big issue, so I'll experiment when I get home tonight.

Thanks!

Tip: you can always find the correct password by downloading your settings file and looking inside :wink:

The option is in settings.php

Code: Select all

/* Send you an e-mail when a new entry is added? 1 = YES, 0 = NO */
$settings['notify']=1;

/* Your e-mail. Only required if $settings['notify'] is set to 1 */
$settings['admin_email']='me@mysite.nl';
