I installed ZenCart for a friend of mine a few months ago, version 1.5.6a. It was working fine until yesterday. He claims that he didn't do anything to cause this, but out of the blue, when he logs in, the admin page has no headers to access anything. And if you click on a link on the home page for a customer or order, it takes you to a message: "Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience."
His web host (Bluehost) did... something, and changed the admin user from Admin to admin. Not sure how they did this or why. It didn't fix the problem.
I found a link that suggested to try changing the admin_id of the admin user to 1, using phpMyAdmin. I did this, and restarted my browser and logged back in, but it didn't help.
I have no idea what else to try. Web search has been unusually fruitless; I get a lot of hits for the error message, but they all seem to be tied to specific plugins and we didn't change anything in the configuration, and (according to the site owner) nothing was installed.
Suggestions?
