In reply to: Admin count shows more than are listed@riddhishshah Yes, I looked there, but that doesn’t show the user status. Turns out it was in wp_usermeta.
@vtxyzzy gave me the info I needed – for anyone else who finds this post, the answer is here:

In reply to: Question posted 2 months ago, no response – please help!@vtxyzzy Thanks – the SQL query threw up 10 records, and gave the user ids. Only one of those user ids appear in wp_users – my own admin record. This seems to give a complete explanation of what I see in the Users list in the WP control panel.
I made a backup of the entire site, deleted records in wp_usermeta for those users, excluding my own, and the Users list now looks normal.
One thing I don’t understand is that I re-ran the query expecting to see just my record, and it showed 0 records.
So I browsed the table and my record is still there, still as administrator – it is still present in wp_users and shows in the WP control panel, so it seems OK.
@esmi Thanks. I’ll look through those links. As I had done a full restore from backup, updated the version and then hardened with a variety of plugins, I thought the installation had to be clean. Obviously not!

In reply to: protect wp-admin – lose registrationThank you! That’s a very useful preso.
It seems that my original aim is not possible, then, but those slides taught me plenty and I’ve started implementing.
There was a link to another slidedeck alongside that
http://www.slideshare.net/wpbeginner/protecting-wordpress-from-the-inside-out?src=related_normal&rel=1709496Although much of it parallels the one you suggested, it covers one or two additional points.
