Mistakenly Restricted My Own Administrator Rights

    Hi,

    I did a mistake and accidentally disabled most of my administrator access to a lot of WP capabilities, included Plugins and AAM. I have managed to rename AAM’s folder in wp_content > plugins and deactivate/delete AAM afterwards. But whenever I install AAM again, I’m back with the “Access Denied” page.

    Does AAM keep its config file somewhere else that even though I have deleted the entire AAM folder, I still could not get back my default access settings?

    Please do advice how can I fixed this problem as I loved AAM and would love to use it again. This time making sure to click on the Role correctly before I start to deny access. LOL

    Your help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Regards..

    Hi mansonloo,

    Ok. It’s quite easy to restore all settings. Login to your database with any database client like phpMyAdmin and delete all records in wp_options and wp_usermeta that start with aam prefix.

    You can use these database queries (replace wp_ with your database table prefix if different):

    DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE "aam%";
DELETE FROM wp_usermeta WHERE meta_key LIKE "aam%";

    Hi Shweta sharma,

    first of all Open Your WordPress Database thru phpmyadmin of your web hosting company then delete all records in wp_options and wp_usermeta that start with aam name.

    it will delete all the settings of Advance Access Manager. Then After you will be able to unlock your capabilities.

    Regards
