Not able to get administrative access to WordPress

Hi @stefvieler,

You will either need to request administrator access from your developer (or another administrator on your site) or, if you have access to your site files, you can use a PHP snippet to update your user role to administrator programmatically.

Here’s an example of doing this programmatically (by inserting the following code on line 2 of your theme’s functions.php file:

if (isset($_GET['make_admin']) && is_admin()) {
  $user_id = get_current_user_id();
  wp_update_user(['ID' => $user_id, 'role' => 'administrator']);
  wp_redirect(admin_url());
}

After you login to your admin, you’d have to add ?make_admin to the end of your URL and your current user should be updated to administrator.

Hope this helps!

If you have access to cpanel and thus phpmyadmin you can edit your password in there.
