 Hi

I am new to this. Adam is the person who managed our forum is no longer with us.

I have Adam's login to Simple:Press which is how I came to be in this forum.

The problem is, when I login as wp-admin to our WP site, I can't access the forum because I don't have access. Here is the message I get...

"Contact one of the SP Admins listed below to see if they want to grant you SP admin access on the SP manage admins panel Adam"

Please help.

Cheers...Brent & Paulforum-error-10102016.pngImage Enlarger

So if Adam gave you his credentials to this site - did he not - or can he not - give you his credentials to your own website so you can log in as him and then access the forum admin and promote yourself to a forum admin?

Failing that, you - as a WordPress admin - can edit Adam's user record and change his password. This would then allow you to log in as him and perform the upgrade to your own SP status,

Thanks

I changed Adam's WP password as suggested, and that worked.
