How to get into admin mode?

[aKirA]

Hello all,
First thanks to Coppermine developers for such a great script. My problem is from a fresh install of Coppermine v.1.4.3 using Fantastico, I can log in my gallery with Admin rights...however when I return to my gallery and log in I dont have the admin options anymore. I know that I need to get into Admin Mode, however....there is no such button or link to change mode? If I miss something, then it must be very very simple. But I swear, I cannot find any Admin Mode button. Is there an image of the location of the button/link I need to select to get into Admin Mode? Or I can post a screen shot of mines if that will help. Also notice that when I log in and I select "Remember Me" it does not. So maybe that is related somehow?

Thanks for any help.

The fantastico version of Coppermine is buggy and is not recommended. Please download the real version from here and install it following the instructions provided.

Yes that was the case. Fantastico version is bad. Million thanks!

I have this same issue with Fantastico install.
Is there there any workaround since I already modifed .css
and files for hardwired theme and uploaded a bunch of
pictures.

Thanks..

if you have done as suggested and renamed your theme to have a custom name, then nothing can go wrong. If you haven't, then backup your changes and restore them after the update. As suggested in the docs, you're suppossed to backup before updating anyway. Please don't hijack threads that are marked as solved. Locking this thread.
