Problem
Admin log purge does nothing (page reloads fast, no rows deleted). Caused by duplicate name="purge" on checkbox (value="1") and submit button (value="Purge"). On submit, button overrides checkbox in $_POST, so $purge becomes string "Purge" (truthy), but code expects int 1 → condition passes but logic skips or fails silently.

Solution
Rename the purge submit button to avoid conflict. Then update PHP to check the new name.

Code Changes

In templates/default/admin/admin_log.tmpl (line 125):Change:
Code
HTML<input type="submit" class="form-button" name="purge" value="{$ubbt_lang['PURGE']}">
To:
Code
HTML<input type="submit" class="form-button" name="purge_submit" value="{$ubbt_lang['PURGE']}">

In admin/admin_log.php (line 32):Replace:PHP
Code
if ($purge && $purgevalue) {
With:PHP
Code
 if (get_input("purge_submit", "post", "string") && $purgevalue > 0) {

Apply, clear cache, test purge (e.g., 1 month). Deletes should work now.
