Description of my issue: No access to administrator after retsoration
Hi Nick
We use your products many times a day on hundreds of websites with no issues but I now have a problem with one retoration.
I have restored my site - public side works fine, but I have no access to the administrator side of the site.
I have followed your recommendations on troubleshooting to no avail. Gone through all the .htaccess recommendations but no solution.
The site does contain Virtuemart, which now demands an absolute URL for a 'safe' path - I have gone back and removed that reference, taken a new back up and reloaded but the problem persists. The site also uses RSSEO but the plugin whih potentially contains an absolute reference is not acxtiviated and the abnsolute refernce is empty.
I would be grateful for your advice and ideas.
Kind regards
Mike
