Have you locked yourself out of the WordPress admin area by using the PublishPress Capabilities plugin?
Don't worry, the PublishPress Capabilities plugin stores a backup of WordPress role definitions. You can use this recover access to your site.
Those who are comfortable using phpMyAdmin or another database query tool can do the following:
- Find the
_options
table. - Search for option_name which is likely to be named
capsman_backup%
- Use
capsman_backup
if it is available, otherwise you can usecapsman_backup_initial
. Ensure that you are seeing the entire option_value of this row (not just a snippet of it ending in “…”. In phpMyAdmin, click in to “Edit” the row to see the entire option_value. - In another window, search for the option_name
%user_roles
- Update this
_user_roles
record with the option_value from thecapsman_backup
row. In phpMyAdmin, this can be done with the “edit” link. Be sure to clear the entireoption_value
entry box before pasting in thecapsman_backup
value.
