codeigniter CSRF error: "The action you have requested is not allowed."
I enabled the csrf_protection option in codeigniter's config file, and used form_open() function to create my forms. But when I submit the form, this error occurs:
The action you have requested is not allowed.
I have done the answers like this topic (that is most related to my question): question
but they didn't work and The problem still remains.
my config.php:
