Address Box …How do I edit

Hi again,

I discovered …We do have Phpmyadmin… and have a user name and password, everything.

So is this classed as our full admin access?

No. That’s just access to your database but you can make changes to the db to give you full admin access. Using Phpmyadmin (or another MySQL management tool), first backup your database. Then navigate to your wp_usermeta table and locate the meta_key called “wp_capabilities” for your user_id. Change the meta-value for this record to:

a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

again thanks for your reply

I’ve found where you mean, and I can change it.

but what will happen? and what will the user name change to?

I contacted that web designer …and as if by magic when I logged in again …hey presto… I’d got full admin access, as well as him, so he must have had it all along and kept the main admin rights to himself.

I have made me an administrator too, so that I can do what I want.

I’d still appreciate an answer to my last post though, if you don’t mind ..Thanks again

No problem. Glad I could help ??

Hi again, I’ll stop stalking you soon …promise

a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

what happens if I input the above?

You don’t need to do that now as you have admin access. All it does is applies admin status to that user.

Ok I get you now.

Sonow I am an admin user, if I create a new User? and then give that user Admin rights then that would be a way of having the user name I want?

Correct. ??

Thanks so much for all your help.

I’ll go away now … so you can help someone else.

Thanks again
