All viewers are being logged on as admin

I have an issue I do not understand. When I first installed ZenPhoto, I setup a Gallery Guest User account and password; and, enabled "Enable user name login field:." At first, this worked very well. But now any visitor that goes to my sight is automatically logged on to the site as the site administrator. A log on screen is never displayed. In other words, any visitor has full admin rights to the sight.

Does the function of ZenPhoto depend upon the .htaccess file in the root directory of the site? I attempted to make a few changes to this file with the service .htaccess editor when a power failure happened. Since then, I have been having this problem with ZenPhoto.

I unnstalled and reinstalled ZenPhoto but this does not help.

Any suggestions?

    Please post a link to the gallery. Generally login status is stored in cookies or alternatively if chosen in sessions.
  • The site is located at: http://www.myhunterfamily.org/ZenPhotoGallery/

    I thaught that cookies might be the problembut I deleted all cookies and cache files from my browser and it still does this.

    Well, it must be the browser because I see the password form. Did all the recent visitors use the same browser/computer then this would not be surprising. Maybe try to change the admin option to use sessions instead of cookies. Some servers have issues with that.
  • I've tried on a different computer. The logon page came up. Is there a way to make it where the logon page will always show? The reason I ask is the following: If you log on an admin and then log off and log on as a guest on the same computer, if you want to log on again as admin you have to go to the admin page to log on.

  • `Is there a way to make it where the logon page will always show?` Don't you think this would confuse your guests? Presenting a logon form even though they are logged on.

    Maybe you can use the gallery sessions option. Or, you can log off as guest before you wish to log back on as admin. Seems you want to be logged on twice? You would have to exit the browser for the gallery sessions option to work the way you want.
