    Noticed after this last update that reverting to Admin-level account after using the ‘View As’ feature is resulting in a blank/white screen. The ?reset-for query string is not working to fix the problem.

    Upon logging in under a backup admin account, I discovered that prior Admin account user-role had been removed. It was not changed to Editor, Author, etc; it no longer had a role at all. Using the backup admin account to reset Admin-role fixed the problem, but it happened again when I tested again.

    Disregard. Looks like this was related to BlogVault’s firewall blocking some requests. Once they adjusted firewall rules on their side, the View-As function worked (and reverted to Admin) normally again. (Please delete this entirely if possible; thanks!)

    @slomeli79 thanks for reporting this and also the cause of the issue. Good to now.
