   Hi,

   I hadnt logged in to my wordpress in a long while.
   Today when I did it using my admin account,
   the dashboard shows items as to a regular user.

   Even says "There is a new version tell the admin"

   I am the admin!

   I quickly went to check out my tables in phpmyadmin,
   everything looks just fine, the admin is user number one
   in the users table.

   What can I do?
   I am using 2.5.1

   None describes my problem.

   Still need help.

   Really? You stated that your administrative account has been reduced to that of a subscriber. If you weren't the one who changed it, then one might be inclined to suspect that because you are still running a version of WordPress that has been known to be exploitable for an extended period of time now, it may be your exact problem.

   Indeed. I imagine it is. But, aren't you the administrator? Yet you can no longer log in as an administrator... only a subscriber?

   The logical conclusion is that the administrative account no longer belongs to you. You might want to research some of the information in those links I provided a little further. It may turn out to be nothing, but chances are far greater that your web space has been compromised and your site is no longer controlled by you.

   There might also be something of more use located here:

   I'll let you refine the search to suit your particular circumstances.
