    Currently running 0.9.6.1B for a client. Trying to edit a snippet as admin user but get the error that:

    "webmaster is currently editing this snippet. Please wait until the other user has finished and try again."

    Have logged in and out as "webmaster" user without luck. I’ve deleted "webmaster" too. I’d upgrade the site but it’s being transferred to a new business owner today and I don’t want anything to break (or have to waste anymore time on it!!).
      Mostly harmless.

      Did you try this in the Manager? (I can’t recall now, but I think the terminology for this is the same in 9.6 as in 1.02)

        Thanks - that’s handy. After using MODx for so many years there’s always something (staring me straight in the eyes) new to learn!

        • Oh wow, you really should update that version to the latest. Much much more secure and definitely more usable.
