Unable to customize my site at all

  • Hello, so I’ve been practicing creating my own site on wordpress for while now. Its local hosted and I’m using Phpmyadmin. I recently installed a plugin called s2member and accidentally deleted the administrator account. I followed a bunch of tutorials to try and add another administrator account using phpmyadmin and got back into the website however, I do not have any customize buttons anymore on the top dashboard menu. I cannot do anything to my website even after logging in. No options appear except the logout menu. I’m so confused and I tried editing permissions and everything, but the menu won’t appear and I cannot access the /customize.php page as it gives me a “Sorry, you do not have permission to customize this page” error. I’m not sure what to do now, please if anyone has any idea, let me know with thorough steps as I’m still new. Thank you

  • Using Phpmyadmin (or another MySQL management tool), first backup your database. Then navigate to your wp_usermeta table and locate the meta_key called “wp_capabilities” for your user_id. Change the meta-value for this record to:

    a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}

    I did that already too. Just to confirm, I don’t need to edit the line at all based on my username or anything right? It’s just a simple copy page into usermeta? I still can’t customize it. I’m confused
