unable to access AAM admin menu

    I accidentally unchecked administrator misc while editing administrator. I thought I was editing the role I created.

    Immediately after unchecking the box I was locked out of editing AAM settings and after a page refresh could no longer see the link in the wp admin menu.

    I have removed the plugin and reinstalled but still the issue persists.

  • Hi rrestani,

    I’m guessing you were managing Capabilities. In this case re-installing the plugin will not help. You would have to manually restore your admin capabilities.

    All capabilities are stored in %_options table with option name %_user_roles where % is your database prefix.

    Hi,

    I’ve done the same thing, restricted access to the AAM tab.

    I’ve followed your instructions on here and on the thread you posted a link to.
    However when I looked in my database there is no _user_roles in my wp_options folder, I ran a search and these were the results:

    MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows). (Query took 0.0022 sec)

    SELECT *
    FROM ‘wp_options’
    WHERE ‘option_name’ LIKE ‘_user_roles’
    LIMIT 0, 30

    I cant find anywhere in the database that aam or user_roles appears at all ??

    Can you give me an idea of how else I could go about getting access back?

    Thank you,
    Claud

    For some reason the search didn’t work for me either. I had to go in to wp_options and scroll through every page of the database to find user roles.
