i owe you a lot.
been looking for a way to solve my problem. took me almost an hour. thanks for this tutorial. i had to create a new admin. i just wonder how my admin status changed to subscriber. i checked on the other users via phpmyadmin and they’re all subscribers.

but again, i owe you a lot.

Thanks, I have FTP access so I built a script. In WPMU add _1

‘meta_key’ => ‘wp_1_capabilities’,
‘meta_value’ => ‘a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}’

‘meta_key’ => ‘wp_1_user_level’,
‘meta_value’ => ‘10′

Regards.-

Also, if you need to add someone as editor, insert the following in replacement of the administrator comment:

a:1:{s:6:”editor”;b:1;}
