Hi Mark,

I had a crash in the middle of an upgrade and your fix helped me get into the dashboard, but I can’t navigate past that point. Can you think of any other files that might need to be “upgraded” so that we can access all of the admin panel?

If you think of something, please use small words as I am not a programmer.

Excellent! Thanks. I had this problem after using WP-Security-Scan plug in on a WP 2.5.1 installation and this fixed it right up.

I had SERIOUS doubts this would work since I had a working version of 2.5.1 but after changing table names and moving some files around I got this error. This php file totally fixed it! THANK YOU!!!

The plugin wordphonic 1.02 was causing the problem in my site, try deactivating it.

[...] Well, this was difficult. I have been using a blog on blogger, but since I have subscribed to a webhost I wanted to host my own blog. Easy right? No, not so… Seems that the installation of wordpress fails to add an admin user correctly. Took me ages to find out how to do it. But for a solution look here. [...]

FIXED!!!!

OK gang - if you run the script and can then LOGIN but only get the Dashboard and Profile, you must do 2 things

1) In you wp_usermeta table make sure your meta_key entries are correct (e.g. wp_capabilities and wp_userlevel on a default configuration.

2) delete the extra wp_capabilities entries the script has added to the end of your table. by default if will add a:1:{s:13:”subscriber”;b:1;} to your wp_capabilities - which makes your admin account a subscriber only.

Not only did it not work but it completely wiped clean all of the content from my website. You’re shitty little piece of code may help some people but the damage it does to others is greater.
