You have an active admin session in place...

August 07, 2019, 01:26:57 am

"Warning
You have an active admin session in place. We recommend to end this session once you have finished your administrative tasks."

I read some older posts but the problem remain for me, any idea ?

It is just a warning to remind you to terminate the admin session after you finished. Nothing to worry about.

Not recommended, but you can disable it in Administration Center > Security and Moderation > General > Disable administration security

It's OK for now, I'm using localhost.

Disable admin security means you don't have to insert the password at all to enter the admin section. Generally not a wonderful idea.
The box is a warning on purpose, how would you word it to convey the same message in a more easy to catch way?

yes, and once disabled the admin security the message is not displayed anymore.

Agree with you, but since is just a test forum in localhost I don't see any danger

I have no idea, it's fine for me how it is set up now
