Topic: Can't comment as admin

A small issue with commenting.

Users can comment, and I can, if I'm logged in via the main login screen. But if you try to post a comment (when you're logged out) with your account name, it'll ask you to login. I attempted to, but it always "admin denied login". It only does it with the admin accounts.

Any ideas?

Hello Maroon,

This situation is normal for CN, it is necessary for password brute force prevention. If you want to disable this function, follow these steps:

1. Go to modules/hooks/common.php;
2. find the row if ($user['acl'] == ACL_LEVEL_ADMIN) and change it to if ($user['acl'] == ACL_LEVEL_ADMIN && 0)

to disable checking the administrator`s enter via frontend.

Best regards,
