    when I log in the admin screens are missing I can’t add a page or categories when I select themes I am given a message that I don’t have permission to access that page I am the only person editing this blog so where and/or how do I get my permissions changed so I can finish set up of my blog. I am using Bromine theme and it worked last month. Also this may be major there was a section for users I set up another user and that is how it is making me log in it no longer recognizes my admin log in name

    It sounds like your account may have lost admin privileges for some reason.

    Access your database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), go to the wp_users table and find the row for your user_login . Note the ID of this row. Now, go to the wp_usermeta table and find the wp_capabilities row for your user_id . Set the value of this row to a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}
