Re: Lost some admin privileges, all buddypress options

You might have to restore things by going into the DB and setting values back to what they should be for that user.

wp_usermeta table is a start, look for the user and ensure that wp_capabilities is :

a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}

and the wp_user_level field is:

10

You may also need to go into the wp_sitemeta table and find the reference there to the site_admins in that row is where the site is told how many admin and who it must I guess have at least a initial value of:

a:1:{i:0;s:5:”admin”;}

As with all things of this nature do NOT do any work before backing up your DB, I cannot vouch for the detail I have shown or that it won’t cause irreversible harm :)
