Hi hope you guys can help
the master admin account is unable to access the back end settings of the sp-forum installation from the wp-admin dashboard.
the only option that it is showing is \"Admins - Your Admin Options\"
this means all users are lockout of the forums because none of the admins including the master can change any of the settings.
please help as were completely adrift because of this

master admin account??? what is that?? a wp admin or sp admin?? they are not the same thing...
at install of sp, only the wp admin that did the install can access the sp admin panels... to add more sp admins, the main sp admin (the one who installed) can go to forum - admins - manage admins and make anyone an sp admin...

I have a problem similar to this - I've taken over a site developed by someone else and it is a bit of a mess. I am new to Simple Press. I understand that in the MySQL DB there is a table called wp_sfmembers with a field called admin and if I set this to 1 for my account, when I click on the Forum within the WP admin my admin options are very restricted - to only Admins -> Your Admin and ->Options (see screenshot).
If I take out the 1 and set it to 0 - I have no admins (only WP admins) and I see all the options.
Any ideas how to fix this?

No, setting your admin column in sfmembers is not enough to get you admin access... So you do not have access to one of the SP admin accounts?? if you do, you could set up additional SP admins on forum - admins - manage admins... as you are seeing, a wp admin is not an sp admin by design... this allows you to have regular wp users (ie subscribers) be sp admins but not have access to any of the wp admin stuff...
if you cannot access the sp admin via a true sp admin account, in addition to the admin column in sfmembers, you need to set up some wp capabilities... in the wp usermeta table, for your user id, for a meta key of wp_capabilities (your prefix might not be wp_), add this entry for meta_value:
a:14:{s:13:"administrator";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: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;}

Thanks - I found that suggestion on another post - but it still doesn't work for me. I get the same result. I have entered the meta_value into the meta table where meta_key = <myprefix>capabilities which has no effect, that I can see.

sorry... result being?
are you sure you entered the user meta data correctly?? key is the point I mentioned about wp_... that should match whatever you wp db prefix is... so if you have wp_options table, wp_ is correct... but if its xxxx_options (the actual db table name), then it would be xxx_capabilities...

thanks again for helping out on this - my prefix is iropi - so my table is iropiusermeta - my meta_key value is iropicapabilities
It doesn't seem to make any difference at all - I still get the restricted section of the forum admin within WP.

just to be clear, it would be iropi_capabilities... you did not have the underscore in what you posted...
