Making changes to WP Site, but I Don't Have Admin Login Credentials

    *My Dashboard says that I am on version 4.3.5, but there wasn’t an option for that version.

    I am doing some freelance work for Knights Event Center, however, the login credentials do not give me admin access level to a point where I can see and use the Appearance and the Plugin panels.

    I have notified my contacts at Knights Event Center, but they have tried to contact him and they can’t seem to get in touch with him.

    Is there a way for me to be able to add myself as another admin user? If so, how do I connect to the Knights Event Center database remotely?

    If you are not using Multisite, access your database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), go to the wp_users table and find the row for your user_login . Note the ID of this row. Now, go to the wp_usermeta table and find the wp_capabilities row for your user_id . Set the value of this row to:

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

    You’ll find phpMyAdmin in the hosting account’s control panel.

    Thanks, for the reply, but I just recently got into contact with the original developer and I now have his admin account.
