What method of authentication are you using? 

1. Did you have to edit config.php to enable your chosen method?

2. If you create a new LO or edit an existing LO and then select the Insert
menu do you see the Insert > Connectors option?

If any of this is true you're using 1.8!

Hi,

 

I downloaded version 1.8 and upgraded but I understand from the users the
site is still version 1.7 - not sure how to make sure the new version have
been uploaded beyond refreshing the site.

 

Regards,

Remy

The database hasn't changed.

What problem are you getting exactly?
