It seems that you are no longer the admin user. Check the usermeta table in mysql. You can manually change your user role by editing wp_capabilities.

Hi Timothy
Thanks for your response.
I have checked the usermeta table and wp-capabilities meta value –
a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;} user level 10. Is this what is should be?
Thanks
Yeah that is exactly what it should be. What is the user id for that user?
I was having the same problem as Dienne have resolved. I tried to follow your advice by changing the user meta, wp-capabilities in phpMyAdmin.
Anyway I want to know further, what to do after this stage…
This my website,
Please give me further advice as I am new in this php, ssl, wp thing.
Thank in advance.

Hi Timothy
I appear to have several wp-capabilities when I look at the table
wp_3_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
wp_4_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
wp_4_dashboard_quick_press_last_post_id 1063
wp_4_user_level 10
wp_5_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
wp_5_user_level 10
wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1?;}
wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1?;}
wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1?;}
wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1?;}
wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1?;}
wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1?;}
wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1?;}
wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1?;}
wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1?;}
In wp_users I have ID 2,3 & 7 , there should only be one user being me.
I have 4 sections to my multisite!
Could this be left over after I was hacked?
Look forward to receiving your reply

I have taken all the question marks off the last 9 in the list and I am now getting the following message when I try to login:-
“You attempted to access the “Thiviers Hotel” dashboard, but you do not currently have privileges on this site. If you believe you should be able to access the “Thiviers Hotel” dashboard, please contact your network administrator.”
No that seems to be normal, the capabilities should read as a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}. I am slightly hazy on multisite, but the rest of that looks normal.

Hello Timothy
I have noticed when looking at my wp-config file that I still have the original Authentication Unique Keys and Salts – these contain the details of an old domain name I used to create the site and have since changed!! Could this be the problem and could I change the domain name to the existing without causing a problem with the site.
The old keys are pointing to dordogneholidayrental.com and the new site now resides under hotel-et-Dordogne.com.
Regards
