Re: HELP! Side-bar disappeared

I suspect this has to do with having the entire site inside a directory named “textpattern”.

Re: HELP! Side-bar disappeared

Is there in fact a directory called ‘centertemplate’ where the txpath indicates?

Yes, but it is just an empty folder…

Re: HELP! Side-bar disappeared

What seems to be happening is that when you try to log in, the public-side index.php is loading instead.

You didn’t by any chance move index.php files around?

Must be some kind of link or alias in it, I would guess. Or an .htaccess file. Are you using an FTP view that shows invisible files?

Re: HELP! Side-bar disappeared

Possibly; yes.

Is there a way to append the index.file to correct the problem…?

Possibly, but this is a guess. On line 20 of the admin-side index.php file (!!!EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT INDEX.PHP FILE!!!), which reads:

        define("txpath", dirname(__FILE__));

replace dirname(__FILE__) with the full txpath, hence:

        define("txpath", ‘/home/serling/public_html/centertemplate/textpattern’);

Again, I am guessing, and this is a hack-ish approach to take.

Re: HELP! Side-bar disappeared

Please post the full contents of the /textpattern/index.php file. Pretty clearly you are using a modified version of it.

Re: HELP! Side-bar disappeared

And don’t panic. The site is still there; we’ll figure this out. I know, it’s missing the sidebar. jpcache may be involved.
