Admin options are missing

    I’ve never seen this happen, but for the past two days, when I log-into my wp-admin area, all of my options are gone. What I mean is — I look like a vanilla user. Ok, I lied . I do have some options: *sign-out*& *my account*.

    Every posting appears to be in-tact, and I can edit all of them. I am the only user on my site, with no other admins.

    I don’t want to play the “is someone up to foul play card”, but now that you know it’s in my hand, do you think I should play it?

    Thanks!

    Any post tagged with “lutefisk” needs extra attention!

    Are you able to see what level your account is? Did you inadvertantly remove your Adminship?

    That’s what it seems, but I cannot tell what level anymore. I haven’t tweaked anything in User settings for several weeks. The only non-posting change was comment settings – set to approve by admin.

    I clicked “forgot password” to test for fun. I was able to change the pass and get back into vanilla land. Still got the stiff arm.

    Ooh! Maybe I sold my company! Yess!

    And if you like lutefisk, we did a podcast interview with a fish store in Minn. at http://www.bionicgenius.com </shamelessPlus>

    Well, here’s a zany thought: Can you get to your database with phpMyAdmin or something similar?

    If so, pop into wp_usermeta and see what you have for wp_user_level (should be 10 if it is even still used) and wp_capabilities (mine is a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;} and frankly, I’m still pondering what all that means… but I like seeing “administrator” in it).

    Zoiks. I have no clue. I’m staring at the wp_usermeta screen, and nothing says wp_user_level. Nor is it in wp_users. I don’t see the word administrator or admin anywhere either. I wonder if this is even English?

    Jinkies!

    Maybe wp_user_level is left over from my 1.5x upgrade. But no wp_capabilities column?

    Ruh-Roh. Not that I can tell. If the columns are these {below}. If you mean within wp-usermeta, then no again.

    Here’s what I’ve got:
    wp_categories
    wp_comments
    wp_linkcategories
    wp_links
    wp_options
    wp_post2cat
    wp_postmeta
    wp_posts
    wp_usermeta
    wp_users

    Jeepers. I kinda botched my last one. In wp_usermeta, do you have a column named meta-key with a value like I said in my last post? (a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;})

    Schnikies. I clicked on BROWSE, and am back in the Mystery Machine, riding shotgun. I have a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;} as well.

    My umeta_id has a value of 5.
    My user_id has a value of 1.

    Hoooold on there Scoob…

    My wp_user_level has a value of 3! Could this be it? Mister Witherspoon!!?? How did that get changed?

    Wonder if I should bump it to 10.

    I hope this is as entertaining for you as it is for me! LOL.

    If admin – it should be 10!

    I blame those meddling kids!

    Ratchet her up to 10 there Scoob and let’s see what happens next…

    Crap. The user level is at 10 for my admin. I was looking at another member. The munchies can make you see strange things, apparently.

    So, any more suggestions?

    I’m thoroughly stumped at this point. Hmmm…

    Do you have any userlevel or admin tweaking plugins installed?

    No – No plugins. I upgraded to 2.0.1 about a month ago, and have never had a glitch. I guess I’ll contact my host to see how this got changed w/out touching it, and what they can do to help. Thanks for your help Handy! Now about our podcast… =^)

    liI encourage anyone to chime in. Even if you know nothing about ScoobyDoo. Smurfs perhaps?/li

    If I have problems with backsticks, I must be a dolt.

    Just put one backtick at the beginning of your code portion and another backtick after it. That’s all. Whatever is in between will not be rendered but displayed.
