Super Admin problem

  • right here is the deal,

    I successfully changed my table prefix and and all is well except one problem. I installed my new wordpress but when I migrated users and user meta I do not have Super Admin Control on any user because I did not set it up with my old prefix database.

    Now here is the question.
    Is there a way I can go into the sql file though phpmyadmin or something and give myself super admin access?

  • Yep.

    Go inot phpmyadmin, find the sitemeta table and there will be a field there for siteadmins. Yes, it means Super admins now.

    Thanks for the reply. Bare with me though because I am very new at the back end stuff.

    I found the table you are talking about. now what do i do?

    Never mind I figured it out. Thanks so much for the help.

    I noticed today that the “network” option under tools is gone. And I don’t have super admin access anymore, though I do have admin access.

    Checked phpmyadmin and made sure my username was listed in site_admins in wp_sitemeta. It is, though I don’t know what the other numbers and code in there means.

    Also checked to make sure the define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true); command was still in wp-config. It is.

    Also deactivated all plugins in unlikely event something there was the culprit. No change.

    I’ve done something awful, no doubt, but have no idea what and how to get network and my super admin privileges back!

    Can anyone help me?

    and made sure my username was listed in site_admins in wp_sitemeta. It is, though I don’t know what the other numbers and code in there means.

    Paste it in here, and I’ll tell ya.

    Hi, Andrea –

    Here you go:

    a:1:{i:2;s:11:"username";} (where ‘username’ is my admin username)

    Any ideas?

    I’m also noticing I can’t add or change the status of users, like I typically could with regular admin privileges.

    Found the answer here:

    a:1:{i:2;s:11:”username”;} (

    see the i:2 ? It shoudl be a 1 since there’s only one username following. not two.

    and the s:11 – the 11 should be how many characters are in your username.
