    Help! I had a catastrophic failure with the Ultimate Member plugin which migrated all users to “subscriber” role including me! I tried getting help from plugin creator but the email is no longer valid..

    I tried deleting plugin via FTP and nothing happened.

    How do i fix this?? Is there something i can change in htaccess or somewhere?? Please help!!!

    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;}
