Hi, I'm a new user and the back end login goes to a page where there is no title and nowhere to input the password. I can get back into the site by switching to a original clone of database.js - then switching the files back so I can edit it. It's a bit of a annoyance
Has anyone experienced this?
Thank you,
Will

Re: Back end login not working
Are you reaching a 404 error page?
If so it's possible you done what the software suggests and changed the default login page on the admin modal, logged out and then returned to the home page and clicked the login link again.
That will take you to the original "LoginURL" page that no longer exists and will give you a 404 error.
To log back in again you'll need to enter your new login address manually in the address bar.

It goes to a page with no password prompt or other text. Please see the image. It does the same with the default theme or the Parallax one. I changed the admin page in the database.js file and that may have been the cause of the problem.

Re: Back end login not working
Apologies for the late reply, We've had many family members staying with us (and some are returning this weekend).
You probably know that you can alter the LoginURL address at the first option on the Security page of the Admin modal, and you must have had a good (or bad?) reason for messing with the database file, perhaps while editing another distant part of the file.
The most likely cause is a missing brace or other punctuation symbol somewhere in the file. Bear in mind that the closing } for the config section, is just above the pages section, far down the file.
Try creating a second site and comparing where commas are. Use a text editor with a brace matching facility to see if things are as they should be.
