Upgrade from 3.11 to 5.13, admin/upload link now missing

[GX]

System info:

RH / php 4.3.10 / mysql 4.0.25 / Dedicated

My situation is a bit weird. I started with phpBB2 and linked users to PP. Everything was working peachy.

Fast forward a few years, I'm now converted to SMF. I have the SMF users linked to PP as far as I can tell. I can login, but as an admin, I can't see the admin link. As a regular user, I can't see the upload link.

I had to do a bit of tinkering in phpMyAdmin to get it to recognize SMF from all the phpBB2 settings that I could see.

If I go directly to adm-index.php, I get:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

well make sure as with any integration switch to check cookie settings database settings etc

However to me it looks like you missed one vital step. You need to align your usergroups to SMF meaning you need to delete all other usergroup entries and change your admin entry number 5 to a 1 which is the group for smf and you should have an admin link and then you can refresh the groups from admin
