Support Forum
Still setting up to see if SP will work for me, can I add another administrator with full permissions?
Of course, just see the forum menu from the WP admin page. Check out Forum > Admins.
Thanks Ike, sorry I did look there, and there is no option to add administrator under the Users area. Sorry I am probably overlooking something
Im not sure you can access this codex article without a membership, but if you can - take a look. It looks to me like you are an SP admin but not a WP admin.
It's really stupid - I actually locked myself out of my own forum (doh!) long story, so I am the WP administrator and I still can't get in. I logged in as the only SP administrator (with WP admin privelages) and still can't figure it out. Maybe what I should do is uninstall and reinstall the plugin... sigh, my own fault really... don't change user names!
When I try from my own WP user profile all I get is this. BTW I will be buying membership closer to my launch date, I need some of the premium plugins - so thanks for your help so far! Great plugin!
Essentially - and at first anyway, the WP admin becomes the SP admin and has full access to the forum controls in the WP admin page. If you can log in with the admin account you used to install in the first place - you should have full access.
You can set up other admins to have full control afterwards.
If you haven't done anything with the forum - and I guess you haven't due to not having access - a re-install would be a pretty straight forward quick fix.
Hi Ike, me again
I seem to have a real problem. The WP user that installed the forum has since been deleted. So I can't even uninstall the forum because there is no global administrator for SP - I can't do anything. What I tried going into mySQL database to try changing permissions from the back-end but I am obviously looking in the wrong place cos I don't know what I am doing and I'm terrified of breaking something.
Any ideas??
OK I tried removing the directories from my database manually, and there was no change. I uninstalled and re installed the plugin and the problem is the same.
I will soon be needing to buy membership so I can start using premium add-ons - will I be able to so this if I am not a global moderator?
When you say 'removed the directories from your database' I am not sure what you mean. I suspect you mean you moved the plugin code files... is that correct?
What you need to do is remove the actual database tables. You can leave the plugin code files where they all are but the tables need removing. You need to use a tool such as phpMyAdmin which comes with your hosting cPanel. All the Simple:Press tables start with the prefix 'sf' (after your own wp prefix of course). This is where the data is. Re-installing the plugin code files will not change the data.
Renaming users is never really a good idea! And sadly, there are still ways of deleting a user from your WordPress site that can npt be picked up by a plugin although the WordPress team are improving that slowly.
