    Hi Gerroald,

    I’m not getting any error codes or redirects at all. I’m able to log into the site which looks perfectly intact, but I’m only able to access it as non admin. The WordPress logo at the top left corner will usually have a drop down “dashboard” that allows me to go into the back end as admin. I can no longer do that as the WordPress logo is now italicized (I don’t remember it being like that) and does not offer an option to select the dashboard. It’s as if my profile has been changed to a low level user. I renamed the Wordfence directory to no_wordfence as instructed. However, that didn’t seem to make any difference. There was actually no noticeable change. Since it’s a relatively new site it is easy to backtrack users as there were only two. Me as admin then a few hours later WordFence update and then me again the following day now as a non-admin user only.

    I hope that’s not too confusing. If you need clarification, let me know. And if you have any suggestions on how to regain admin access please let me know. Thanks again.

    Mark

    I should have been more thorough with the activity log. Here is an updated one with a tad bit more information.
