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?

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