Hello,

Sometimes, for one reason or another, I am logged out from the Admin page because the alloted time has expired.

When this happens, whatever I was working on is locked (with the golden padlock icon), and the page is no longer clickable. How do you unlock?

Thanks.

Cornelio

In Joomla 1.0.xx, go to your admin panel, System>Global Checkin, then the items that are lokced is check out and free for you to use/edit. In Joomla 1.5: Go to the adminsitrator panel, Tools>Global Check-In.

I had this happen to me so many times. There should be a troubleshooting FAQ where non-techies like me can look up to solve these problems. In the meantime, it is good to have people like you who are willing to help.

Thanks Menalto.
