    Hello,

    I have problem with admin user who is inactive, but I can not remove him. I tried to remove him in wp-admin and with phpMyAdmin (to delete the user directli in database table).
    This user just recreates himself (with new ID) after deleting.
    I have no clue, how he does it.

    Do You have any ideas?

    Thank You.

    if you have removed the user via PHPMYADMIN and the user is “recreated” by him/herself, it sounds like the user you are trying to remove has access to manage your webhosting account. (I am assuming you know the user and have already checked for other malware)

    I contacted the hosting provider to investigate this issue. Let’s see what they find.

    Turns out, that the functions.php file had script, that recreated this admin.
