Subject: Can't get to Admin Link
I was running an old version of PHP and upgraded to 7.2,  when I did so, my wiki stopped displaying some images.  In a fit up unbridled enthusiasm, I started to update plugins without checking first - in an attempt to fix issue.  I really should have known better!

I updated one plugin - to my shame can't remember what it was, although I think it had to do with sidebars - and everything went very pear shaped.  I think the right side bar started to overlay the main  part of the page.  To try and fix that, I tried playing with the template so see if I could find one that would work.    Now I have a template where a placeholder for the missing side-bar overlays the Admin Link -  and while I can log in, I can't click on the admin link (although I can see it).

Does anyone know the url structure for the Admin page?  Then I might be able to get to it directly.

Once I get in, is there a way that I can update the Wiki version from there?  My ISP doesn't appear to have a way that I can do so externally.

Can't you just let the browser show you the source of the page? You will be able to find the link to the admin page by simply searching for "admin" within the page. Mine does that and I find the URL to be http://192.168.1.69/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=start&do=admin where 192.168.1.69 is the IP address within my private LAN.

My wiki is hosted on an ISP's server.  I have tried that (in a couple of different formats) formats on the sub-domain and the main domain -  both just return a  blank pages (even though I am logged in as an admin).

I have tried copying the whole of the <div class> section of code into a wiki page - and running from there -  however, it won't recognise the code :)


I am beginning to run out of ideas

Please give us a link to your Wiki.

However, I have managed to get  to the admin page from the Host Site's file lists, and changed the template so that it doesn't cover the admin link.

Now I just need to work out how to get the code and the plugins updated  :)

The issue was caused by the Nav Overlay Plugin.  Disabling that has fixed the overlay issues so my users and I can get to everything again.  :)  It just doesn't look pretty anymore :(

You have to append /doku.php?do=admin to the URL of your Wiki to get the admin panel (of course only if you are logged in as admin):

I have just put codowiki on with a side bar.  It is a bit less ugly than when it all went pear shaped :)  But I have lost my Right-hand side bar.

Images  and my next issue :(  Some links and recent uploads don't work at all. -  But that will have to wait until later.  I have a CV to write today  :)

By the way, you should disable the self-registration option, or secure it with the help of the Captcha plugin. https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:captcha
Otherwise, at some point you will experience an unlovely surprise. (How that happened to me already.)
