First off, I know that these things don't just happen, which means that I've done something to remove them. My bad....the problem is, I can't figure out what! Here's what I've done in the last day. The problem happened this morning.
1. To begin with, I finally got my SSL cert up and running yesterday, so I secured my admin and catalog areas along with checkout with SSL. Everything seemed to be working just fine...I did a lot after this, and didn't notice anything amiss.
2. Yesterday I followed the instructions found here: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=73, to secure my site. (Including renaming the admin area, and making sure my configure.php files were read-only.) I didn't do any of the folder permissions stuff, because I'm not done setting up the site. I didn't notice anything wrong with admin images after this either.
3. Yesterday I enabled Hotlink Protection on Cpanel, and made sure to add my domains as exceptions to it. Once I realized this images problem, I disabled Hotlink protection, and the problem is still in existence, so I don't THINK it was this, though this was my first suspect. After I enabled this, I remember looking around, and didn't see anything wrong.
4. Today, I attempted to rename the Page_2 file using the detailed instructions provided by Merlin here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24069 . I did the one where the URL name is changed. I have rolled back these changes since I noticed the problem with the admin images, which was right after I did this change.
In order to attempt to resolve this problem, I renamed my .htaccess file to .htaccess_bak to make sure it's not the problem...didn't resolve the problem.
To be exact, the problem is that I can't see any images in the admin area, the HTMLarea editor doesn't appear at all, and even with the text editor, I can't see the Save button or anything. In the modules editors I can't edit any options or anything, so I'm really stuck. As I said before, I didn't notice it until after I tried to rename the Page_2 file using those instructions, which I have gone through and rolled back using backup copies of the files from yesterday, which I made before I started do anything.
Someone please help!! Thank you!
