[DOCUMENTED] Locked out of Joomla Admin Panel

[Sarr]

Hello!

What can I do to prevent Admin upper menu (with menu, articles, extensions access etc.) from going gray and no click-able/usable? Do you know such issue?

I'm not sure it started with jFusion, but seems so. Even if I log out and log in again, upper menu text is gray and gets black and usable much later... This prevents me from working on my site and is VERY annoying. I can't access my modules, articles etc. without access to those menus... Which is logical.

It seems to happen either randomly, or when I save something. To help it, I usually chmod everything in joomla to 777 again, but I'm not sure there's any connection with doing and and making my menu black and usable...

Is this called being "Locked out of Joomla Admin Panel"? I can log in, but just need to wait sometimes for my menu to work. Buttons are working normally.
And yes, I am Super Admin :/.

Does the menu get grayed out when you edit something in the backend? If so that is default Joomla! behaviour. And yes this is not what is called as being locked out of Joomla! Admin panel. Try looking for some help on forums.joomla.org as JFusion is not responsible for whatever is happening to your site.

Thank you! Yes, it looks like that. The problem is that it stays greyed out when I finish, pretty randomly it seems, and that means it takes much more time and frustration to work on my content. I will seek for solution on Joomla forums then.

Ran the SQL successfully? or Manually turned off the 2 plugins?

STILL NOT ABLE TO LOGIN?

Two more things to check.
1. Make sure the other system plugin for Jfusion is unpublished. (not sure if this has effect)
2. CLEAR YOUR COOKIES AND REFRESH PAGE. (this does have an effect)

(as a note, this should be added to documentation in "Fixing Issues" -> "Cannot Access Joomla Backend")

you lost me...

What I'm trying to say is that based on the instructions here (about being locked out of admin login):
http://www.jfusion.org/docs/doku.php?id=fix;login

there is a crucial step missing. Yes, turning off the plugins via the sql (or manually) is necessary... but for many (or at least for me on J1.5.22), after doing this I was still locked out.

Clearing the cookies after turning off the plugins was what finally let me back in.

A step should be added to the Fix login instructions that states: Clear your cookies. Just one more thing to aid in making a clear set of steps that will resolve this.
