Restoring from a wordpress backup

BTW the original site is still live at https://juliebooz.com/yoli as I had it installed in a folder.

I now have it installed at the root of https://MyBlastcaps.com

You’ll have to access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin and manually change the siteurl and home values to https://myblastcaps.com/

Ok Did that, site is up, but now when I go to log in I get error that I do not have sufficent permission to access the page!!!!!!ARG!!

It sounds like your account may have lost admin privileges for some reason.

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;}

I have done that. I also have all plugins deactivated. One problem that I have and I am fixing manually as much as I can is that I had the stable prefix that screwed things up yo_li instead of wp_ and there are all kinds of references to the old file still in php admin ie: the old url
are there a file thaty ou are aware of that would be a priority to look at to make sure they reference the right url and or pre fix to getme logged back into my admin?

Any other suggestions to try?

Just the URLs in the siteurl and home values in the database and the prefix in wp-config.php there’s really nothing else that’s necessary for WordPress to function. If you continue to see the error, try downloading WordPress again and delete then replace your copies of the /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ directories with fresh copies from the download.

Installed the fresh copies still telling me insufficient permissions..

Ok, found a reference to the incorrect pre-fix in wp_options under wp_user-Roles it had the old pre fix yo_liuser_roles.

When I changed that to the wp_user_roles I no longer get the insufficient error message. I now get dashboard-wordpress in the tab but a completely blank page ???????

I installed fresh copies of admin and includes and still get same result ??

Now what do I look for?

Ok, tried to log in from a different PC and got this error message using mozilla firefox

SOLVED! I renamed my plugin folderto plugin2 then logged in successfully.

Then went ftp back into plugin folder and renamed back to plugin.

Now I am activating one at a time and checking login.

I am now saving a backup of this file first ??
