Login as different admin after site migration

  • Hi, I inherited an eCommerce website that I redesigned. I kept the original db so client wouldn’t lose customer & order info. Also migrated the website to a new server using migrate guru. Ever since the migration, when I login using my admin credentials, I end up logging in as my client. I also use gridpane and signing via SSO also lands me in his account. Gridpane suggested I change ID # in DB, which I did, but that did not help either. MySQL error log is filled with error: [Warning] Access denied for user ”@’localhost’ (using password: NO).

    Thank you for your help!

    Ya, not a great idea unless you change **all** IDs in the db to match!

    I would use phpMyAdmin to create an Admin user on your website.
    It’s very straight-forward:

    Login to your db, insert a user into the _users table, assign Admin role in the _usermeta table.

    Once you have done this, you can login as the new Admin, and the add/update/delete other user accounts.
