The Frameworks folder shouldn't be necessary because none of the modules mentioned in an earlier post requires this.

The reason for the admin page losing its format is a wrongly declared XOOPS_TRUST_PATH in mainfile.php

Also upgrading from XOOPS 2.0.13 to 2.0.16 will increase the security level of your website.

etc etc


Just a small point.......

Your trust path must be exactly "parallel" with your main website folder... assuming that the directory /cms hast your XOOPS site in it then your "trust path" should be defined:

define('XOOPS_TRUST_PATH', '/home/myfolder/public_html/trust_folder_name');

where "trust_folder_name" is a unique name that you choose - it can be anything you like.

WF-Sections 1.02 can be downloaded here.
WF-Sections 1.02 is an old, not anymore supported module and might contain security issues.
It's better to switch to SmartSection or other article module.

thanks, but this is 2.01? Is that still ok to use to upgrade from 1.01. i am looking at migrating but I just want to secure the site for now as It obviously takes a lot of time.
