 * I have searched and cannot find and answer to my problem.
 * My admin menu has NO User section.
 * When I go to Profile I get an “add User” menu option and an “add User page” but
   when I click the “edit User” button at the top all I get is “Cheatin Huh”
 * Where is my User Menu?
 * I am using WP 3.0.RC3 Any Ideas ??
 * **I “upgraded” from 3.0RC3 to WP 3.0.3.**
    **No change.**
 * Still have no “Users” menu item and the “edit user” on create new user still 
   renders “cheatin’ huh”
 * If I am logged on as an “administrator” should I not see all the menu items? 
   I remember changing the default “admin” loggin user to XXXXX. Might that have
   anything to do with it. The new “admin” XXXXX was created as an administrator.
 * help

 * Here’s a case which is quite similar to yours. Maybe you can take it as reference.

 * Nope… No help… My DB backups evidently don’t go back far enough to see if they
   could overcome the problem… and I don’t think it is a “theme” issue, because 
   I can change to the default theme and the problem still persists.
 *  “amended the bits that needed changing” (from your above link) and editing the
   SQL DB is something I can do, if I know what it is I am to change…
 * Even if I do a pristine install from WP 3.0.3 when I add my current DB I think
   the problem will follow…My DB is to extensive to start over…
 * Thanks for the help…

 * I just checked my SQL DB and have only the following items:
    wpx_commentmeta 
   wpx_comments wpx_links wpx_options wpx_postmeta wpx_posts wpx_terms wpx_term_relationships
   wpx_term_taxonomy wpx_usermeta wpx_users
 * I also have an old set:
    wpress_comments wpress_links wpress_options wpress_postmeta
   wpress_posts wpress_terms wpress_term_relationships wpress_term_taxonomy wpress_usermeta
   wpress_users
 * Seems the only difference between the two is the “Comment Metadata”
 * Maybe someone can tell me what is missing??

 * I just did a pristine install of WP 3.0.3 into a new directory.
 * “Users” menu appears as normal.
 * I checked the SQL DB and tried to compare the differences between the two installs.
 * The old install had “USERMETA” as:
    a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}
 * The New Intall had “USERMETA” as:
    a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
 * So I edited the Old Install to: a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
    and still
   no “User” menu item on the Old Install.
 * I don’t know what the above code means, but surely there is a DB entry that will
   let me access my users???
 * Thanks

 * Silly Question:
 * What is the exact format for exporting the DB from MySQL?? and how does one make
   the export file a WXR WordPress eXtended RSS?
    (Please upload a valid WXR (WordPress
   eXtended RSS) export file.)
 * Doesn’t the WP DB database manager plugin export to the right format? I Can’t
   get it to export correctly either…??? it has extention of .sql or you can gZIP
   it…??
