Locked out admin permissions? 4.0.3

I am trying to edit my forum tools, but somehow my admin account does not have permissions anymore to access. When I click the tools is says "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page." But I know the account I am logged under does. How can I get those permissions back? Is there a way to reset?

Also, is there a way to update the forum directly from WordPress? My FTP is not working properly.

THANKS!!!

have you upgraded your wp? if you are running wp 2.8 , you must have at latest version of SPF 4.0.4 with our latest version being 4.1.2

If you have the download zip file and you have your server configured (php ini file) to allow uploads greater than 2MB, you can use the zip uploader on the plugins page.

Where can I download the 4.0.4 copy? I just need it to work for awhile then will do the update to the 4.1.2 this weekend when I can deal with things if they break. :-)

Also is there a cost for upgrading from 4.0.4 to the 4.1.2?

Thanks,

deb

Hello

I have the same problem, thanks for answering the question.  Do I have to update versions in order?  I am still on 4.0.2, do I need to go to .4 before going to the 4.1.3?

Thanks

if you are running wp 2.8.2 or higher, you must upgrade to the lastest spf since they changed how the admin permissions worked…

but, you can go directly to 4.1.3

Thanks Mr. Papa

One more ? after reading the directions.  It says to delete all the files prior to uploading new version.  That mean delete the whole forum folder, or just the files in that folder?

Thanks again

I have the same problem, how can I back my database if I don't have access to the manage database functions anymore.  Can I just install 4.04 without backing up the database to restore privs, then back up the database and upgrade to the latest?
