Title: No Super Admin Panel Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # No Super Admin Panel * Resolved [spartanv7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/praeix/) * (@praeix) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/) * I was attempting a Network install. I followed all the instructions explicitly, but when I logged back into the WordPress admin area after Step 5: Enabling the Network, there was no super admin panel. * I then proceeded to research as much of this topic as I could. All of the WordPress“ help” resources pointed me to double check everything that I just did. So I did that. The wp-config.php file is correct. mod_rewrite() is enabled through my hosting. The .htaccess file is 100% correct according to the instructions. The database tables exist and have proper permissions. The blog.dir directory exists and has proper permissions. But there is NO super admin panel that shows up. * The only thing I haven’t tried is a re-install. If anybody can help me out with this issue, I will greatly appreciate it. * Thanks Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 36 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/page/2/?output_format=md) * [alm06130](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alm06130/) * (@alm06130) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605580) * Super admin panel is displayed when is_multisite and is_superadmin are true ( see wp-admin/menu.php). is_multisite return MULTISITE if defined (verify one more time!) is_superadmin return $current_user->id must be 0 try to check these points. * [Jamie Welch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/techlover/) * (@techlover) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605633) * Try logging in as the root administrator user on your account (usually admin, or whatever you created the blog with). Then you should see the Super Admin Menu. You can then go to the users menu and give yourself the Super Admin user privilege in Super Admin > Users. * [dgilmour](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgilmour/) * (@dgilmour) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605638) * > … when I logged back into the WordPress admin area after Step 5: Enabling the > Network, there was no super admin panel. * Yes, it’s not _where_ you log in that matters, it’s the account you’re using; it must be one with Super Admin rights. * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605639) * > You can then go to the users menu and give yourself the Super Admin user privilege > in Super Admin > Users. * It was moved. You have to go to that particular user’s profile to make them a Super admin. * And in Step 5, you have to complete *all* those tasks. you should be forced to login again as the main blog’s original administrator. That user becomes the super Admin. * [Per-Arne Hoel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pahoel/) * (@pahoel) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605761) * I have the same problem: No Super Admin panel. My test installation has only one user: me, all steps followed, no errors. **praeix**: Have you found a solution? * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605766) * Works for me, multiple times on different servers. * check and see if the db tables were created. * [dsamorano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsamorano/) * (@dsamorano) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605769) * same issue here no super admin…. * [mpvanwinkle77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpvanwinkle77/) * (@mpvanwinkle77) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605770) * Same issue. I also don’t have Super Admin menu, nor do I have the ability t upgrade the Admin to Super Admin * [mpvanwinkle77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpvanwinkle77/) * (@mpvanwinkle77) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605771) * Ok, fixed my problem by changing where in the wp-config.php I was defining the multisite settings. Try placing these: * ``` define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true); define( 'MULTISITE', true ); define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true ); $base = '/'; define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'domain.com' ); define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' ); define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 ); define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 ); ``` * Right underneath the DB_COLLATE definition. * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605772) * A lot of people have been placing these commands at the bottom of the file. Right under the line where it says “That’s it! Stop editing!” * Anything under those lines _does not get read_. * So yeah, stick ’em in the middle. * [dsamorano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsamorano/) * (@dsamorano) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605773) * i tried the code above would not work either…. * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-super-admin-panel/#post-1605774) * [@dsamorano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsamorano/) are you following these steps, in order?

You *must* visit the Network menu item and click the button that will add the needed tables.
