 * Hi [@sshahadatgsm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sshahadatgsm/),
 * Do you have an idea, what the issue might be? In the meantime, I’ve tried renaming
   the .htaccess file and logging in, and looked through the wp-config, -login, 
   and the themes functions.php files, but nothing seems to be out of the ordinary,
   and it still doesn’t work.
 * Best regards,
    Paul

 * Hi,
 * I have a very similar problem, but the solution didn’t work for me.
 * The website I manage has a few admin users, but while all of them can still log
   in normally, once they are, none of them can access the dashboard. I had a look
   in the SQL database and all of them still have administrator privileges.
 * I have tried creating a new admin user through PhpMyAdmin, I tried the above 
   code in the functions.php, tried deactivating all the plugins by renaming in 
   the plugins folder but nothing seems to work. It creates a new admin user every
   time, but the new users still have the same issue as the ones that existed before.
 * I have run out of ideas to try to resolve the issue, so any suggestions would
   be greatly appreciated.
 * Thank you,
 * Paul
