 * Hi There
 * Problem sorted.
 * After 10 days of REG123 ‘Help’ and many hours of my own time spent making changes
   advised to me by REG123……………….. I made zero progress.
 * I asked an IT guy to look at it and within 5 minutes looking at the database,
   he spotted a duplicate entry, fixed it, and it all now works

 * I have a web site showerpowerbooster.co.uk which I cannot edit. In desperation
   I have stated from scratch to build a new wordpress web site which sits annoyingly
   on showerpowerbooster.co.uk/showerpowerbooster which is no good for me.
 * I cannot resolve problems through my host REG123.
 * After 10 days giving me the runaround they appear to have dumped the problem 
   back on me and said **‘Please note that we do not offer support for installing
   this third party application outside of our 123-Apps terms. If you wish to install
   WordPress to the root of your hosting space (“public_html”) I can advise you 
   to refer to the instructions offered by the WordPress support website: [http://codex.wordpress.org/In&#8217](http://codex.wordpress.org/In&#8217);**
 * Further advise is
    **Please note that at the moment the One-Click automatic installation
   for WordPress and other content management systems can only be installed in their
   own directory. This is why the following address shows:
 * [http://www.showerpowerbooster.co.uk/showerpowerbooster](http://www.showerpowerbooster.co.uk/showerpowerbooster)
 * One-Click cannot automatically installs the application into the ‘public_html’
   folder.
    For this to happen you will need to install WordPress manually, the 
   manual installation will allow you to install WordPress into ‘public_html’ folder
   so that the website will show under the address ‘[http://www.showerpowerbooster.co.uk/&#8217](http://www.showerpowerbooster.co.uk/&#8217);.
 * Please save my sanity and comment upon what I am being advised to do as I have
   been given incorrect advise from their help desk and would like a opinion on 
   how to resolve this.

 * I lost edit functionality of my web site last week and after many hours of trying
   to fix it I am no further forward.
 * It took 48 hours originally to put together my web site from start to finish 
   but perhaps in a day I might get back to something usable again.
 * Am I better just starting again and if so how?

 * I was very hopeful but:-
 * I changed it to the following and no better.
    a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}
 * When I log into my wordpress site it still takes me to ‘profile’ and not ‘dashboard’.
 * I can get into Dashboard by clicking on the icon but then it only displays ‘WordPress
   Blog’, ‘The Latest From Yoast’, and ‘Other WordPress News’
 * I still cannot edit pages or anything else.
