Where's the link to the admin control panel on the demo

[JJUK]

I've just accepted the invitation to try a demo. The demo site tells me that I can log into the admin control panel with user name admin and password admin. But there's no link to the admin control panel on the demo site.

Where do I go to access the link, or what is the directory path?

If you are logged in as an Admin on the front end already then the "Admin" link appears along the top of the page.

You can also add /admin.php on to the end of the forum home page URL to access the Admin control panel.

This is what I see. No link to the admin control panel. I'll try the /admin.php path.

 

[Chris D]

You are not logged in yet.

You can click "Log in" and use the same username and password and that will log you into the site as the admin user.

You will then be able to see the "Admin" link at the top of the page while logged in which will take you to the admin control panel.

OK I get the gist. What I'm logging into the admin.php for is to try and find out what the options are to re-skin/re-brand the site. Where do I find those?

 

[Chris D]

They are in the Admin control panel in the “Appearance” section. You probably want to start with “Style properties”.

You can find styling information in the manual too:

OK thanks. I get the idea of the style changes. Where do I change the site logo?

This little search icon in the top right corner of the admin control panel will find you most anything you are looking for.

Thanks. The reason I'm looking is to see whether I can integrate this forum with a wordpress site - same branding same theme. Thanks for the pointer.
