    It’s been a few weeks since I logged into the “update” section of my WordPress.
    I now try to log in and I get this message:
    “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

    With nothing else around it. Just that text. I typed my username and password correctly and yet it does not allow me to enter.
    I did not make any changes, I have not logged in for some time.
    Has anyone seen this problem before?

    Any idea’s on how to get past this and be able to log in again?

    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Hi Skavenmight,

    Not sure how this problem happened, but there are ways to fix if you have access to the db.

    Who is your host? Do you have access to CPanel and/or phpmyadmin?

    Hey Casey,

    Thanks for responding. My host is: https://www.antagonist.nl/

    You mean my core files with filezilla? Yes, I have access to the db. So I can change files if I want.
    I have looked up information about it but it’s quite complex.
    I will keep trying in the mean time.

    If you have phpmyadmin, look for the table that is wp_usermeta (or has a similar name).

    Inside, you should find a number of rows, you are only looking for two.

    Find the nickname row of the account you are trying to log into and identify the user_id. If you are the only user, it should be “1” and this will be easier.

    You are looking for the two rows with wp_capabilities and wp_user_level that have your user_id. They should look like this for administrator access:

    wp_capabilities = a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}
    wp_user_level = 10

    Do these instructions make sense? Can you see something like this?

    Let me know if you can and I can tell you how to edit properly.
