Thanks again for all the help.
Here is a summary of what has done so far to debug this.
In phpmyadmin database: meterme1_wor1
wrd_usersmeta where id is 3
wrd_user_level 10
wrd_capabilities a:2:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:10:"superadmin";b:1;}
wrd_sitemeta
site_admins a:2:{i:0;s:17:"Pete99-metermedia";i:1;s:9"petefix99";}
admin_user_id 3
I have changed the theme to the twentytwelve theme. This did not solve my problem.
I have downloaded the latest version of wordpress and replaced wp-admin and wp-content. This did not solve my problem.
I have disabled all plugins by renaming plugins to OFFplugins and mu-plugins to OFFmu-plugins. This did not solve my problem.
I have logged in as other super admin users and added a new admin user. These users can not access the network admin either.
I can update (or at least check to see if updates are needed on) plugins with wp-cli. I believe this means wp-cli still has network admin access, which makes sense to me.
Bulletproof Security needs an update but I’m not sure if this is the issue because turning off all plugins does not fix the problem.
I have created a plugin to help debug and output information.
Which is this:
if (is_admin()) {
echo 'SUPER ADMINS:'.get_super_admins().'<br />';
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
echo 'Username: ' . $current_user->user_login . "\n";
echo 'User email: ' . $current_user->user_email . "\n";
echo 'User first name: ' . $current_user->user_firstname . "\n";
echo 'User last name: ' . $current_user->user_lastname . "\n";
echo 'User display name: ' . $current_user->display_name . "\n";
echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . "<br />";
echo 'Capabilities:'.$current_user->wp_capabilities."<br />";
echo 'CURRENT USER CAN:'.current_user_can( 'manage_network' ).'<br />';
if ( current_user_can('manage_network') ) {
echo 'The current user can manage the network'.'<br />';
} else {echo 'The current user can not manage the network'.'<br />';}
if ( current_user_can('manage_network') ) {
echo '1'.'<br />';
} else {echo '0'.'<br />';}
$user_info = get_userdata(3);
echo 'Capabilities:'.$user_info->wp_capabilities . ", " . $user_info->first_name . "\n";
}
and outputs this:
SUPER ADMINS:Pete99-metermedia
Username: Pete99-metermedia User email: pete.lower@gmail.com User first name: Pete User last name: Lower User display name: Pete User ID: 3
Capabilities:
CURRENT USER CAN:
The current user can not manage the network
0
Capabilities:, Pete
When I use wp-cli and run wp user list I get this:
+----+-------------------+--------------+------------------------+---------------------+--------------------------+
| ID | user_login | display_name | user_email | user_registered | roles |
+----+-------------------+--------------+------------------------+---------------------+--------------------------+

| 99 | petefix99 | fixerpete | -----@site.com | 2014-07-11 09:00:00 | administrator,superadmin |
+----+-------------------+--------------+------------------------+---------------------+--------------------------+
With WP-CLI
When I run wp site-admin list I get nothing returned.
wp site-admin add 3 AND wp site-admin Pete99-metermedia returns this
Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in phar:///usr/local/bin/wp/php/commands/super-admin.php on line 41
Please let me know if there is any information I can provide to help debug.
If it’s not the information in the database, the plugins, the theme, or the core code, what could it be?
