Ok, that would mean that your user role is Subscriber, the lowest of all user roles with pretty much no privileges. You’ll need to either contact your web designer (who probably still has access to your Dashboard) to promote you to Administrator, start over, or follow the guide below to manually promote yourself to Administrator:
If you are not using Multisite, access your database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), go to the wp_users
table and find the row for your user_login
. Note the ID
of this row. Now, go to the wp_usermeta
table and find the wp_capabilities
row for your user_id
. Set the value of this row to:
a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}
