Vous n’arrivez pas à accéder à votre site WordPress ?
Parfois, les pirates vous empêchent d’accéder à votre propre site en supprimant votre compte administrateur de la base de données.
Dans cet article, nous allons vous afficher comment ajouter un compte administrateur à la base de données de WordPress via MySQL afin que vous puissiez récupérer votre accès.
Pourquoi ajouter un utilisateur/utilisatrice à la base de données de WordPress via MySQL ?
Nous avons rencontré une fois un problème où le site d’un utilisateur a été piraté, et son compte admin a été supprimé de la base de données. Cela l’a empêché d’accéder à son site WordPress.
Nous avons pu les aider à accéder à leur site en créant un nouvel utilisateur/utilisatrice administrateur directement sur le site WordPress. Pour ce faire, nous avons utilisé phpMyAdmin, un outil web qui vous permet de gérer les bases de données MySQL à l’aide de votre navigateur.
Si vous vous trouvez bloqué hors de votre zone d’administration WordPress à cause de pirates ou simplement parce que vous avez oublié votre mot de passe, alors vous pouvez faire de même.
Cependant, vous devriez toujours faire une sauvegarde de votre base de données avant d’effectuer des modifications sur MySQL. Ensuite, une fois que vous pourrez vous connecter à nouveau à votre site, vous devrez peut-être suivre notre guide du débutant pour corriger votre site WordPress piraté.
Ceci étant dit, voyons comment ajouter un utilisateur/utilisatrice administrateur à la base de données de WordPress via MySQL.
Ajout d’un utilisateur/utilisatrice dans la base de données de WordPress avec phpMyAdmin
phpMyAdmin est préinstallé chez la plupart des entreprises d’hébergement WordPress. Vous le trouverez dans la section Bases de données du tableau de bord cPanel de votre compte d’hébergement.
Voici une capture d’écran du panneau de contrôle de Bluehost:
En cliquant sur l’icône, vous ouvrirez l’interface de phpMyAdmin. Vous devez sélectionner votre base de données WordPress dans la colonne de gauche.
Ensuite, phpMyAdmin affichera toutes les tables de votre base de données WordPress. Vous allez apporter des modifications aux tables wp_users et wp_usermeta.
Ajout d’un compte dans la table wp_users
Tout d’abord, vous devez trouver le tableau wp_users et cliquer dessus. Cela affichera les utilisateurs/utilisatrices actuellement répertoriés dans le tableau.
Notez dans la capture d’écran ci-dessous qu’il y a deux ID d’utilisateur dans le tableau de notre site de démonstration, 1 et 2. Lorsque nous créons un nouvel utilisateur pour notre site de démonstration, cet ID doit être unique, nous allons donc taper le chiffre 3.
Vous devez cliquer sur l’onglet « Insérer » en haut de l’écran afin d’insérer les informations relatives à un nouvel utilisateur/utilisatrice.
Ajoutez les informations suivantes aux champs du formulaire d’insertion :
ID: choisissez un numéro unique (dans notre exemple, nous utiliserons 3)user_login: l’identifiant qui sera utilisé pour se connecter.user_pass: ajoutez un mot de passe, et assurez-vous de sélectionner MD5 dans le menu de fonction (voir la capture d’écran ci-dessous)user_nicename: le nom complet ou le Pseudonyme de l’expéditeur.user_email: l’adresse e-mail du compte.user_url: l’adresse de votre siteuser_registered: sélectionner la date et l’heure où le compte a été inscrit à l’aide du calendrieruser_activation_key: laisser videuser_status: définir cette valeur à 0display_name: le nom complet ou le nom affiché de l’utilisateur/utilisatrice.
Une fois que vous avez terminé, cliquez sur le bouton « Go » pour stocker le nouvel utilisateur.
Ajout d’un compte dans la table wp_usermeta
Maintenant, vous devez trouver la table wp_usermeta et cliquer dessus. Après cela, vous devez cliquer sur l’onglet » Insérer » comme vous l’avez fait à l’étape précédente.
Ensuite, vous devez ajouter les informations suivantes au formulaire d’insertion :
unmeta_id: laissez ce champ vide (il sera généré automatiquement)user_id: l’ID de l’utilisateur que vous avez utilisé à l’étape précédentemeta_key: il s’agit dewp_capabilitiesmeta_value: insert this :a:1:{s:13 : "administrateur/administratrices";s:1 : "1";}
Ensuite, en défilant vers le bas, vous devriez trouver des champs pour une deuxième ligne. Vous devez ajouter les informations suivantes :
unmeta_id: laissez ce champ vide (il sera généré automatiquement)user_id: l’ID de l’utilisateur que vous avez utilisé dans les étapes précédentesmeta_key: vous devez saisirwp_user_levelvaleur_méta: 10
Lorsque vous avez saisi/saisie les informations dans les champs, vous devez cliquer sur le bouton « Go ». Félicitations, vous avez créé un nouvel identifiant d’administrateur !
Vous devriez maintenant pouvoir vous connecter à la zone d’administration de WordPress en utilisant le nom d’utilisateur et le mot de passe que vous avez spécifiés pour cet utilisateur.
Dès que vous vous connectez, vous devez naviguer vers Utilisateurs » Tous les utilisateurs, puis cliquer sur l’identifiant que vous venez de créer.
Maintenant, sans rien modifier, défilez jusqu’au bas de la page et cliquez sur le bouton « Enregistrer ».
Cela permettra à WordPress de nettoyer l’utilisateur que vous venez de créer et d’ajouter quelques informations supplémentaires qui sont nécessaires.
Ajout d’un utilisateur/utilisatrices dans la base de données de WordPress à l’aide d’une requête SQL
Si vous êtes développeur/développeuse, vous pouvez accélérer le processus en utilisant du code.
Il suffit d’Avancer cette requête SQL dans votre base de données :
INSERT INTO `databasename`.`wp_users` (`ID`, `user_login`, `user_pass`, `user_nicename`, `user_email`, `user_url`, `user_registered`, `user_activation_key`, `user_status`, `display_name`) VALUES ('3', 'demo', MD5('demo'), 'Your Name', 'test@example.com', 'http://www.example.com/', '2022-09-01 00:00:00', '', '0', 'Your Name');
INSERT INTO `databasename`.`wp_usermeta` (`umeta_id`, `user_id`, `meta_key`, `meta_value`) VALUES (NULL, '3', 'wp_capabilities', 'a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}');
INSERT INTO `databasename`.`wp_usermeta` (`umeta_id`, `user_id`, `meta_key`, `meta_value`) VALUES (NULL, '3', 'wp_user_level', '10');
Confirmez les modifications apportées à ‘databasename’ pour qu’il corresponde à la base de données avec laquelle vous travaillez.
N’oubliez pas non plus de modifier les autres valeurs pour qu’elles correspondent à celles que vous souhaitez pour le nouvel utilisateur, comme nous l’avons expliqué dans la première méthode.

That looks like a message from a security plugin or security setting from your hosting provider. You can try disabling any plugins following our guide below but if that does not work you would want to reach out to your host and they should be able to assist!

You may want to check that you do not have multiple databases in the chance that a placeholder site was set up when you first signed up with your hosting provider.

Hi there,
I’m trying to move my live wordpress site to my local server because I need to do an updates.
However after setting up in the local server I’m not able to login and I came accross this article
‘Adding an Admin User to the WordPress Database Using a SQL Query’. My questions is the adding of this user should be done in the live server or my local server.
Thank you.
WPBeginner Support says
Instead of creating a new user on your localhost installation, we would first recommend going through our guide below:

Thank you. This might come handy in other cases too… I made a Local AMPPS WordPress Install and for some reason first registrant got Subscriber rights instead of Admin. Really interesting. Anyways, PhpMyAdmin and fix of wp_usermeta -> wp_usercapabilities -> « a:1:{s:13: »administrator »;s:1: »1″;} » sorted it out.

I followed these steps and see my new account, but my site still will not allow me to log in. It says invalid user, then if I try resetting the password it says no account exists. What’s my next step to fix this?

You may want to ensure you added the user to the correct database, you should also be able to reach out to your hosting provider for them to take a look.

For everyone who can login but not see the wp-admin, these instructions aren’t wholly correct.
The wp_cabailities meta_value actually needs to be set as a:1:{s:13: »administrator »;b:1;}
Otherwise your user doesn’t end up with a role set and you can’t see wp-admin.
WPBeginner Support says
Thank you for sharing the code that worked for you

Hi. My WordPress website is being managed by a remote developer. He is an admin and so am I. We have a monthly agreement and I have every intention of paying him his dues. What measures can I do to make sure that I keep the access as well as my website should things go sideways? Can you please help me? Thanks in advance.
WPBeginner Support says
Create backups of your site and as long as you are the one paying for hosting you can restore the site

Hi,
Thanks for writing this! I see I am not the only one who was looking for instructions. My user was created, and I can click on the « Reset password » link and also get an e-mail from the system, but I am not able to log in. I saw that my « usermeta » table looks different from the other users’ – mine starts with « closedpostboxes_attachment », not « first_name » etc. What might be the reason for that?

WPBeginner Support says
That table is for meta boxes that you have closed, the order you’re seeing the table shouldn’t cause an issue

Hi!
I did all the process but when I log in to the dashboard I only see the « Welcome to WordPress » section, I don’t see anything else in the admin area.

Your hosting provider may have customized their login area, there is normally an advanced section you can go to or reach out to your host and they should be able to assist

I have a WP blog site which I have been locked out of. I created a new admin and can log in, but not to my dashboard. Instead, I go to my main blog page with my name and admin # at the top right and a logout button. How do I gain access to my admin/dashboard area?
WPBeginner Support says
You should be able to add /wp-admin to the end of your domain to get to your admin area but if you have a plugin locking you out, you could disable it using: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/

If the user was created, have you tried disabling your plugins in case you have a plugin that could be preventing access? https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/

Make sure you replace wp_capabilities with the correct prefix, if you are using a custom one, for example asdf_capabilities

Thank you once again.

After backing up my database with updraftPlus, then restoring it, we lost all admin access. I followed these instructions but am still getting an error saying I do not have access. Help!
WPBeginner Support says
You would first want to reach out to updraftplus for your old login, some caching plugins can cause issues with what database your site is attempting to use. If that does not work you can force reset the password for your user using the method in our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-reset-a-wordpress-password-from-phpmyadmin/

James Denning says
I have the same problem. No matter what I do the user does not have any privliges
Shaheen says
I messed around with this more; watched the video several times and it’s still not working.
In my case, I lost admin access after I migrated my WP site from one hosting account to another.
my old admin login is able to login but once in, isn’t able to do anything.
Using mysql, i tried creating a new user and adding the meta data. When I try to login with the new user, it says the password is incorrect. I tried saying « forgot password » and I did not receive any email to the email address i included when making the user with msql.
In mysql i can see my old admin user is still there. I tried adding meta data to give admin privledges to that user, by putting in the corresponding userID. This didn’t change anything. I am still able to login with that user but don’t have access to anything. If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated!

Thanks a lot, Yes I got my problem solved and this was due to the the role assigned to my user name. Cheers
