Since I’ve seen hacks that allow people to log in via cpanel, create databases and upload zips/create folders on your account – I thought I would create this to help.
Log in to CPANEL
Click on “Contact Information”
Scroll through the checklist for being notified and check “Someone logs in to my account.”
Click SAVE.
This will notify you ANY TIME someone logs into your account.

.htaccess file ( most times you can ask your host to do this for you ):
open up your .htaccess file and put the following into it. (OLDDOMAIN is for your previous one and NEWDOMAIN is for your new one)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.newdoman.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.net/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
If you cannot see your .htaccess file, you’ll need to go into your cpanel and change the settings.

Once done, when someone accesses your old domain, they should be redirected to the new one. 🙂

This is the short, sweet and quick version. This is for OLDER versions of Coppermine, all versions before 1.6. For 1.6 please visit this post.
1. Sign into cpanel (which you can do via the client section here(on stars.bz) or via the regular /cpanel url)
2. Click on phpmyadmin
3. Find the username(what you use to sign in to your cpanel with), to the right and click the little ‘x’ to expand the databases.
4. Click on the database you use for your coppermine.
5. Click on the _users table (should have something before the _, whatever you chose to title the tables)
6. Find your username or the user under group_id 1(which is the administrator group id)
7. Click ‘Edit’ which is beside of a pencil next to this username
8. Find ‘user_password’, in the drop down menu select MD5 and type in any password you want to set it as in the text field beside the dropdown.
9. Scroll down until you see a new set of two dropdown menus. One says save and the other should say ‘Go back to previous page’. Below those two is a button that says ‘Go’. Click that ‘Go’ button.
10. Sign in with the new password you set.
11. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
If you have the login details to the cpanel of your site and let’s say you’ve had a tough time remembering what password you used, but don’t feel like changing the password.
Well–You’ve tried more than three times or so and it’s banned you from using your own gallery. Here’s how to unban yourself.
1. Sign into your cpanel.
2. Click on PHPMyAdmin
3. Go into your coppermine database.
4. Click browse beside of ‘cpg15x_banned’
5. You should see your own IP in the list, click delete beside of it.
There you go!
Now, changing the password might be the best thing to do while in PHPMyAdmin, don’t you think? 😉
Hope this helped!

I’ve decided to post some tutorials in the updates section.
Start off by signing into your cpanel…
1. Go into PHPMyAdmin
2. Find your coppermine database in the left side once in the PHP MyAdmin
3. Then, click the database you think is your coppermine’s.
4. Then scroll down til you see ‘Check All / Uncheck All’
5. Click ‘Check All’
6. Then, Select ‘Repair Table’ in the dropdown menu, it should repair your tables and then you are all done.

I have added a new premade bundle to the store and sellfy page. This time around, I went for a darker tone since fall is around the corner. You can purchase it on the sellfy or at the store via the respective links. The premade has both like post and share post features as well as options to turn those off in the Customizer. Customizer controls almost everything in the theme so you can edit with ease the colors, site title and slogan among many other things.
If you run into any issues, report them or contact me for assistance.
I have uploaded new preview links for both 99 and 100. I have also added edits to the themes, re-uploaded and sent out download links to those who have purchased it before.
All sellfy users can find them here and here. All users on Designs by KaciElizabeth store, can find them here and here. I also added the 101 premade set the store had been missing before.
If you run into any errors, send them in.
And as a side note, things on the store have been changed. Mostly the navigation but there are still the sorting options. Just in a drop down menu. If you have any issues with the menu or finding specific things, contact me. Icon Archive 14, has been added. We also have this new nifty little updates area for those who want to check it from time to time.
