I had a conflict with a plugin I uploaded to my QP dashboard. It cut all access to the WP dashboard as well as the Simple-press admin panel. I only have moderator access at this point.
Any suggestions what I should try to gain acces to the full SP admin panel?
I was able to recover access to the WP dashboard…
Thanks in advance

I think we probably need a little more information please. An explanation of exactly what happened, what you did to rectify it and what the result is. There is really no such thing as ‘moderator access’ for a forum admin so need to understand more about the issue.
just to follow up on Andy’s question which is needed… if you can access the sp admin panels as moderator, then their must still be at least one sp admin account who can make other accounts admins on forum – admins – manage admins… if there are no sp admins, the entire sp admin panels are opened up to wp admins…
Well my developer is working on building me a plugin I can use for Registration purposes.
The plugin will allow new registrants the option to be added to my Aweber mail list.
The plugin gives a unique shortcode that will show as a Web Form/Registration Form on my site. The shortcode can be placed either in the sidebar or on any page.
I should have never used my main site for testing the plugin, that was my first mistake. I had my developer go into my cPanel to fix the problem, he did fix my WP admin access and after that, I realized I lost access to the forum as well.
He said he is going to look into it soon. But I was just wondering if you ever encountered this problem before or could offer any advice in the matter.
sure… if it wipes out your user meta capabilities… and I can give you code to restore it… but usually easier to use an existing sp admin that has access to add you back in… as I said earlier, if no one has sp admin capabilities, its opened up to any wp admin…
go to your wp usermeta table.. for your user id, find the meta key of wp_capabilities… your db prefix might be other than wp_…
replace the contents with:
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:16:"SPF Manage Users";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:19:"SPF Manage Profiles";b:1;s:15:"SPF Manage Tags";b:1;s:17:"SPF Manage Themes";b:1;s:18:"SPF Manage Plugins";b:1;}
a word of caution, if you have any other plugins that add capabilities (rare), you might need to add them in too…
