Changing user to admin, Admin-Menus still missing…

Hi,

i have a rather odd problem with one of my wordpress installations.

I have a user with editor privileges that has recently been “promoted” to administrator. However the user reports that despite him being an administrator, both in the wordpress backend and in the users table in the database, he is still missing some wordpress Backend menu-items. For example: He doesn’t see the Appearance or Settings panels.

He has already logged out and in again and has cleared his cache and cookies.

Can you shed some light on this matter?

Thanks in advance,

kind regards,

Michael
