Wildcard - Today at 6:19 PM
How long ago
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:19 PM
like 5 minutes
Wildcard - Today at 6:20 PM
You've owned the domain for 5 mins or you have installed mybb on it 5 mins ago?
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:20 PM
ive owned the domain for months but the mybb i changed the domain 5 mins ago
Wildcard - Today at 6:20 PM
Explain "changed the domain"
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:21 PM
Cuz it was on my subdomain but i decided to change it to my real domain in the admin options
Wildcard - Today at 6:22 PM
Okay. So when you say "it won't work" do you get an error message? blank page? when you go to domain/index.php

@Wildcard u there
Wildcard - Today at 6:25 PM
Yes, I was trying to check the domain to see if it is down everwhere
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:25 PM
the sites in beta so dont judge
pls
Wildcard - Today at 6:26 PM
Sorry I have to ask so many questions, but:

Tell me exactly what you did step-by-step so that I can try ofigure out what got changed to make this occur
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:27 PM
I went to the admin config and went to the thing were you edit like domain admin account etc and changed it 2 http://www.wolfnation.us/forums
then it stopped working
so i came to the discord
Wildcard - Today at 6:29 PM
Okay now I understand. The setting you changed doesn't transfer the forum to a need address FOR YOU-- it is the setting you change after you move all of the forum files to the new domain.
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:29 PM
its under the same hos
host
Wildcard - Today at 6:30 PM
Yes, but since it is on a new domain the files will have to be copied to the appropriate directory-- in this case, the forum root
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:31 PM
What do you mean by that
Wildcard - Today at 6:31 PM
Okay, let me try to explain with my website as an example.
My website is www.rantcentralforums.com
The files for m,y forum (base domain I just typed) are located on my host at: public_html folder
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:32 PM
so are mine lol well i have a folder in that folder
Wildcard - Today at 6:32 PM
let me finish please
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:32 PM
k
Wildcard - Today at 6:33 PM
My testing site is: testing.rantcentralforums.com-- the files for that site are located at public_html/testing
Some host are different though, some will have another folder in the root name .testing or 'testing-sub so you need to check with Filezilla and locate the correct place for your files.
[done]
The FIRST thing you should do is set the setting you changed back. Then make a complete backup. And then you can safely atttempt the move and if something goes wrong you can (or someone can help you) restore your site.

But I cant access admin again after i login in it just brings me back 2 the login page
Wildcard - Today at 6:38 PM
You will have to us FTP to edit inc/settings.php
Change the cookieX setting back to the subdomain and the login-- and then the first thing you do is go change the settings in ACP and save them to update the database
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:39 PM
but it says /**\
  DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, PLEASE USE
  THE SETTINGS EDITOR
****/
Wildcard - Today at 6:39 PM
I understand that but this is standard procedure for cookie problems
Ask another MyBB staff and they will tell you the same-- or just Google can not log in to MyBB
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:40 PM
it wont let me edit it when i try in filezilla it opens chrome in a none edit window and if i download it doesnt work
Wildcard - Today at 6:40 PM

SoulWolfX - Today at 6:41 PM

Wildcard - Today at 6:41 PM

You need to contact your host and make sure there aren't problems on their end-- I just checked and you domain is down:

Is wolfnation.us down?

It's not just you! wolfnation.us looks down from here.

Wildcard - Today at 6:43 PM
hmmm
What FTP program are you using?
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:43 PM
filezilla
Wildcard - Today at 6:45 PM
I think we need to get someone else involved-- I don't really know what is the matter exactly.
Just make a thread on the forums and that way maybe someone who knows more about the situation can give some advice.
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:45 PM
what do i put tho just copy this conversation or something
the domain is back up
Wildcard - Today at 6:47 PM
Title the thread Can No Longer Access My Forum and in the thread describe EXACTLY what you changed and then describe EXACTLY what happens now. The provide a link to you OLD forum location (that used to work)
yes I see
SoulWolfX - Today at 6:47 PM
