  • You need to explain what you did.

    “deadmin” .. thats tell us nothing.

    What actions, specifically, did you take?

    Specifically, I used a 3rd party plugin (InvisionBridge) to set wordpress permissions based on the usergroup of my website. I then set all of the groups on my site to “Author” level permissions.

    Support for the plugin has been discontinued.

    So now I’m going through the usermeta and users tables trying to restore things through SQL. I don’t have any point of comparison for values for the wp_capabilities field. I’m also unsure whether the wp_metaboxorder_dashboard table will refresh itself if deleted.

    Resolved it myself. Thanks for the help, everybody.
