 * Hello,
 * I just moved a WP-Site from one Domain to another. I’m running 4.9.8.
 * I installed the same Version on the dest-site
    I installed all Plugins on the
   dest-site I deactived all Plugins on both sites I made a complete backup of the
   Database I copied all files I restored the complete database I changed the 2 
   URL-Options in the Option-table
 * I than wanted to use the Plugin “Better Search & replace” to Change the contained
   links. But when I try to Login with the admin-User of the source site I can Login
   but it is only a normal user. No Dashboard.
 * I checked in usermetadata and the user has the user_level 10. Now I have no idea
   how to get on the Dashboard.
 * Any hints?
 * Thx in Advance,
    Willi

 * I just realised that the user is even not able to see (or Change) his own profile.
   He see his Name (that’s no link) and is able to logoff. Nothing else

 * I tried to enter the wp-admin manually after logged in and get a message that
   I have no Rights. Where else is it possible to define that?

 * Solved. I changed the prefix of the tables. The site ran okay but the admin-panel
   could not be called. I changed them back and now it’s okay.
