I have looked everywhere for an answer with no luck.
I had to delete my orig admin name and add a new admin due to a virus a while back.
Now I have lost my super admin rights as I was the one who first installed the forum.
PLEASE is there any way I can get this back. I am fine using myPHPadmin if that helps.
I am using the free WordPress Plugin so obviously don’t want to sign up and pay for answer to a question. thanks in advance,
User capabilities are stored in the WP usermeta table against your User ID with the meta_key of xxx_capabilities where xxx is your table prefix. A full WordPress administrator and Simple:Press Admin has this data:
a:18:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:18:"SPF Manage Options";b:1;s:17:"SPF Manage Forums";b:1;s:22:"SPF Manage User Groups";b:1;s:22:"SPF Manage Permissions";b:1;s:21:"SPF Manage Components";b:1;s:15:"SPF Manage Tags";b:1;s:16:"SPF Manage Users";b:1;s:19:"SPF Manage Profiles";b:1;s:17:"SPF Manage Admins";b:1;s:18:"SPF Manage Toolbox";b:1;s:24:"SPF Manage Configuration";s:1:"1";s:18:"SPF Manage Plugins";b:1;s:17:"SPF Manage Themes";b:1;s:22:"SPF Manage Integration";b:1;s:16:"SPF Manage Polls";b:1;s:13:"SPF Manage PM";b:1;s:17:"SPF Manage Emails";b:1;}
if you decide to copy this in then make a backup first. We really can not take any responsibility if anything gores wrong with your copy and paste. And make sure the simple form of quote marks (plain text) are used. This has to be exact.
Hello,
I’m having the same issue. Could you identify which value correlates to the Admin rights within Simple Press.
I’ve identified an existing user who has these rights:
[“SPF Manage Admins”;b:1;s:16:]
I’m just not sure if I copy the ^ into my “xxx_capabilities” it will break anything.
Here are my current rights, while here are the rights of another user (Moderator) If we want the same access for the moderator can copying ALL “SPF specific” “xxx_capabilities” from the ADMIN into the MODERATOR achieve this?
MODERATOR:
a:10:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:18:"SPF Manage Options";b:1;s:17:"SPF Manage Forums";b:1;s:22:"SPF Manage Permissions";b:1;s:21:"SPF Manage Components";b:1;s:16:"SPF Manage Users";b:1;s:18:"SPF Manage Toolbox";b:1;s:18:"SPF Manage Plugins";b:1;s:22:"SPF Manage User Groups";b:1;s:19:"SPF Manage Profiles";b:1;}
ADMIN:
a:14:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";s:15:"membershipadmin";s:1:"1";s:18:"SPF Manage Options";b:1;s:17:"SPF Manage Forums";b:1;s:22:"SPF Manage User Groups";b:1;s:22:"SPF Manage Permissions";b:1;s:21:"SPF Manage Components";b:1;s:17:"SPF Manage Admins";b:1;s:16:"SPF Manage Users";b:1;s:19:"SPF Manage Profiles";b:1;s:18:"SPF Manage Toolbox";b:1;s:18:"SPF Manage Plugins";b:1;s:17:"SPF Manage Themes";b:1;s:22:"SPF Manage Integration";b:1;}
I don’t understand. Those ‘Admin’ capabilities look fine to me so why can you not gain admin access? The main difference between those and the ones I pasted above are that the ones above include access to some SP plugins which you probably do not have.
And the way to grant other users admin access is to use the forums ‘Manage Admins’ options screen and grant permissions to them there,
