• I’ve recently had wordpress installed and changed it to the Gemini Green 1.0 May 2005 theme.

    When people subscribe, the all are getting site admin status! I have New User Status is set subscriber.

    I’ve turned off:

    Anyone can register
    Users must be registered and logged in to comment

    Until I figure out why everyone is getting Admin status.

  • Hi,
    I think I did your install. If you still have my email – send me your blog password and I’ll look into it for you.
    If you don’t still have my email, click on my member name and the use contact link on website.

    I thought this might be a theme problem so I changed back to the default theme. Sam determined people had the admin link, could access the admin default page but couldn’t do anything.

    I don’t see this on other wordpress sites. I don’t want my standard, plan-jane subscribers to have access to the admin page even if they can’t access anything more.

    I need to figure out what has happened that my site is allowing anyone to have the admin link or just abandon wordpress for something more secure and not a buggy.

    Define “have the admin link” please. Typically that leads to a login prompt.

    Are you letting them register and log in? If so, why?

    I mean under the meta heading, after they login, they are given a link above logout that reads Site Admin.

    I require people who post in response to my blogs to register and login.

    That’s normal. Don’t worry about it — they can’t do anything harmful or see anything a normal reader wouldn’t. All they’ll get is a list of recent posts, comments, and any other data made available to normal subscribers.
