    When I try to login to the admin area on my website at
    https://www.mcrafthost.net/wp-login.php
    It just redirects me back to the login page even though I typed the correct username and password. Why is this happening?

    Sometimes it does work, and when it does it says that I do not have sufficient permission to access the page.

  • Then I cannot help you as I do not want the responsibility of fixing your problem and thereby opening your site up for anyone to log into. Sorry.

    Okay, I changed the password. I thought it might help by allowing you guys to replicate the problem, but obviously not.

    Anyone else have any suggestions? I just did a search and replace on all my SQL databases and all of them were fine.

    Try checking your site’s error logs for related error messages. Your host should be able to help you in accessing your site’s error logs.

    There are no error logs to be found..is there a way to change a user’s permissions through the editing of a php file or MySQL database?

    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";s:1:"1";}

    That didn’t fix either of the problems. Any other suggestions?

    Thanks for the help, btw ??

    Do you still have access to the old site?

    I still have access to the databases and the file manager.

    But you cannot check to see if the old login still works?

    No because the old web hosting is no longer active, I can only access databases and the file manager. It might be worth mentioning both the servers are on Linux but one was cPanel and I am using a different control panel now.

    Open the phpmyadmin and go to wp_options table. There have a record for wp_user_roles. Modify the values with this:

    There is no record for wp_user_roles in my wp_options table. Should I create one?

    No. It is there. option_id should be 99.
