Can't log in to admin (vb3 integration)

[Muhammad]

Hello,

This may be a simple question, but I recently changed my user integration from UBBthreads to vb3, and now I can't get into the admin section. It says "You are not a valid administrator or moderator!" so it's pretty obvious what the problem is. How do I change the user groups that PP recognizes?

Any tips? Thanks.

BTW I'm running PP 4.8e (I know, I know) and vB 3.5.4.

Hello

You need to upgrade your older Photopost Pro 4.8e to the latest version by downloading the source code and upgrading based on the instructions in the upgrades text in the documentations folder within the download. The version your running currently was released before vbulletin 3.5 series or the later 3.6 series came out thus upgrading will ensure you have the proper software versions to work with one another.

Now when you switched your integration did you follow some of the tutorials here? I think if you take a look at your usergroups table of photopost via phpmyadmin you will probally still see your old ubb groups in Photpost. What you want to do is after updating your software delete all usergroups except administrators in that table and then edit the entry and change the groupid field from 1 to a 6

You should then be able to login to admin and import your vb usergroups.
