Noob mistake: now back-end menus & buttons missing

Post by digitalzen » Wed Jun 06, 2012 3:46 am

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to Joomla 2.5, but am pretty familiar with 1.5. This weekend, I was fiddling around trying to set up permissions, and managed to mess up my installation such that the buttons and menus in my administration area have completely disappeared.

From what I've read on the forum so far, it may be something to do with the "Special" entry in jlvjp_viewlevels, but I tried fiddling with the rules and got nowhere.

Any help is much appreciated! I'm dead meat if I can't get the buttons back. :)

Chris

ADDENDUM: I should also add that I'm using RSFirewall, and that I'm unable to log OUT. The system won't even time me out. Very peculiar!

Turns out I didn't screw up after all... there's a bug in the 2.54 update. Read all about it here:

This is the precise solution that worked for me:
