    normally admin is excluded already.
    what’s the ID in the Database for your admin user? (row ID in table wp_users).
    Is the ID another than 1?

    Okay for some reason that admin ID is 2, not 1. I think some security program changed it, and I tried to change it back to 1 in the database, but then I couldn’t get into the backend of wordpress (does not have permission error). Any suggestions?

    ID 1 is excluded and it is not usual to have admin user with ID 2. you can modify the plugin’s sourcecode if you want and change excluded ID 1 to 2. this will do what you want.

    Ok thanks for the help. I found it in the code and changed it. My userid was changed to “2” from my security program. Apparently having admin as “1” makes it easier to get hacked. Thanks again!
