Well as the message states, you are a WP Admin, but you are not an SP Admin – They are two different things. This would suggest that SP was not installed using your WP account. Is this possible?

Whoever installed SP can make you an admin, or delete their user account – then when you log in as WP Admin you will be able to take on the role of SP Admin through ‘Manage Admins’

Yes it is possible. But I deleted previous admin account.

“Manage Admins” – do you mean in SP admin? But I do not have acess.

I delete SP and install again, but it does not help?

Deleting the plugin files will not help you. You need to properly Uninstall it from the WP plugins listing. Then reinstall it.

How can I do it?

Thanks.

I told you – in the WordPress plugin listing.

I delete and Install. Does not help. (

I told you that as well – Uninstall NOT delete

Sorry,

I mean I uninstall in the wp plugin listing.

Then I am afraid I am unsure just what you have done and we would probably need to take a look at your site admin to work it out. If you would like to take this to the actual support forum then one of us could take a closer look at your setup which has clearly been broken in some way.

I have this same issue. Is there a solution?

I deleted the admin account to create the forum and now I am unable to access to forum with any other account.

I even tried re-creating the admin account, but I still get the same “special wp admin” notice.

Well, as mentioned in the previous posts there are a couple of suggestions – although this forum is for pre-membership queries. I’m not sure I even understand what you mean by ‘deleted the admin account to create forum’.

Again, as mentioned previously in this topic, for further support we would need a topic opened up in the support forum.

Hi Ike,

Thanks for your quick response. To clarify, this is a pre-membership query.

I installed SimplePress onto my wordpress site with the default “admin” username.

Later, I created a new username on my site under my name, “sam” and I deleted the default “admin” user.

Now, when I try to access the forum plugin within the dashboard, I get the “special wp admin notice” – saying that I need to request access from the SP admin because I am only a “WP admin”.

I’ve already tried uninstalling and re-installing and also re-creating the “admin” user with no luck.

I hope this all makes sense. Is there a way to completely delete SimplePress so that I can start fresh?

an sp admin can uninstall…  with that notice, you still have an sp admin somewhere…  wp admins are not sp admins…

you can also remove all the wp_sfxxxx tables in the database…

Removing all the wp_sfxxxx tables in the database did the trick! Thank you for all your help!
