Cannot Add or Change Users

  • I am having an issue with being able to add or change any users.

    When trying to remove Super Admin privileges from users the following error happens

    “Invalid User ID”

    When trying to add new users it says

    “Are You Sure You Want To Do This?”

    I have tried deactivating all plugins but that did not fix the issue. I also upgraded the databases again and re installed WordPress 4.1. I have also tried doing the same things from other super admin accounts.

    Does anyone know what can fix this?

  • Hi,

    Sorry to hear about this issue. If memory serves me correct the error of “invalid user id” is due to a mismatch between the wp_users table and usermeta table. The user ID’s for the users should match up in these two tables. If they don’t you need to edit the said user id’s in the database so they match up.

    What specifically am I looking for inside the table? The user ID’s appear to be correct but I do see the order doesn’t go necessarily all user 1 meta data then user 2 meta data. Some of them are random.

    Well, I was thinking the issue could be that the userid of the user in users table differs from what the userid says for same user in usermeta table. So you would look at the userid column in both tables for each user to make sure they matched up. If that is all good to go, then I am not 100% sure what the issue could be.

    This ONLY happens for super admins?

    We’re having the same exact issue. Did you ever manage to resolve it?

    The same issue.
