Siete stati bloccati dal vostro sito web WordPress?
A volte gli hacker vi escludono dal vostro sito web cancellando il vostro account di amministratore dal database.
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come aggiungere un utente amministratore al database di WordPress tramite MySQL, in modo da poter riavere il vostro accesso.
Perché aggiungere un utente amministratore al database di WordPress tramite MySQL?
Una volta ci siamo imbattuti in un problema in cui il sito di un utente è stato violato e il suo account di amministratore è stato cancellato dal database. Questo li ha bloccati dal loro sito WordPress.
Siamo riusciti ad aiutarli ad accedere al loro sito web creando un nuovo utente amministratore direttamente sul sito WordPress. Lo abbiamo fatto utilizzando phpMyAdmin, uno strumento basato sul web che consente di gestire i database MySQL utilizzando il browser web.
Se vi trovate bloccati fuori dall’area di amministrazione di WordPress a causa di hacker o semplicemente perché avete dimenticato la password, potete fare lo stesso.
Tuttavia, dovreste sempre eseguire un backup del database prima di eseguire qualsiasi modifica a MySQL. Poi, una volta che potrete accedere nuovamente al vostro sito web, dovrete seguire la nostra guida per principianti per riparare il vostro sito WordPress violato.
Detto questo, vediamo come aggiungere un utente amministratore al database di WordPress tramite MySQL.
Aggiungere un utente amministratore al database di WordPress con phpMyAdmin
phpMyAdmin è preinstallato nella maggior parte delle aziende di hosting WordPress. È possibile trovarlo nella sezione Database della dashboard del cPanel del vostro account di hosting.
Ecco una schermata del pannello di controllo di Bluehost:
Facendo clic sull’icona si aprirà l’interfaccia di phpMyAdmin. È necessario selezionare il database di WordPress dalla colonna di sinistra.
Successivamente, phpMyAdmin visualizzerà tutte le tabelle del database di WordPress. Verranno apportate modifiche alle tabelle wp_users e wp_usermeta.
Aggiunta di un utente alla tabella wp_users
Per prima cosa, è necessario trovare la tabella wp_users e fare clic su di essa. Questo mostrerà gli utenti attualmente elencati nella tabella.
Nella schermata sottostante si nota che nella tabella del nostro sito web dimostrativo sono presenti due ID utente, 1 e 2. Quando creiamo un nuovo utente per il nostro sito dimostrativo, questo ID deve essere unico, quindi digiteremo il numero 3.
È necessario fare clic sulla scheda “Inserisci” nella parte superiore della schermata per inserire le informazioni di un nuovo utente amministratore.
Aggiungere le seguenti informazioni ai campi del modulo Inserisci:
ID: scegliere un numero univoco (nel nostro esempio, utilizzeremo 3)user_login: il nome utente che verrà utilizzato per il loginuser_pass: aggiungere una password e assicurarsi di selezionare MD5 nel menu delle funzioni (vedere lo screenshot qui sotto).nome_utente: nome completo o nickname dell’utenteuser_email: l’indirizzo e-mail dell’utenteuser_url: l’indirizzo del vostro sito webuser_registered: seleziona la data e l’ora in cui l’utente è stato registrato utilizzando il calendariochiave_di_attivazione_utente: lasciare vuotouser_status: impostare questo valore a 0display_name: il nome completo dell’utente o il suo nome visualizzato.
Al termine, fare clic sul pulsante “Vai” per memorizzare il nuovo utente.
Aggiunta di un utente alla tabella wp_usermeta
Ora è necessario trovare la tabella wp_usermeta e fare clic su di essa. Dopodiché, si deve fare clic sulla scheda ‘Inserisci’, come si è fatto nel passaggio precedente.
Successivamente, è necessario aggiungere le seguenti informazioni al modulo Inserisci:
unmeta_id: lasciare vuoto (sarà generato automaticamente)user_id: l’ID utente utilizzato nel passaggio precedentemeta_key: dovrebbe esserewp_capabilitiesmeta_value: insert this:a:1:{s:13: "administrator";s:1: "1";}
Successivamente, scorrendo verso il basso, si dovrebbero trovare i campi per una seconda riga. È necessario aggiungere le seguenti informazioni:
unmeta_id: lasciare vuoto (sarà generato automaticamente)user_id: l’ID utente utilizzato nei passaggi precedentimeta_key: è necessario inserirewp_user_levelmeta_valore: 10
Una volta terminato di inserire le informazioni nei campi, è necessario fare clic sul pulsante “Vai”. Congratulazioni, avete creato un nuovo nome utente amministratore!
Ora, dovreste essere in grado di accedere all’area di amministrazione di WordPress utilizzando il nome utente e la password specificati per questo utente.
Appena effettuato l’accesso, è necessario andare su Utenti ” Tutti gli utenti, quindi fare clic sul nome utente appena creato.
Ora, senza modificare nulla, scorrere fino alla fine della pagina e fare clic sul pulsante “Salva”.
Ciò consentirà a WordPress di ripulire l’utente appena creato e di aggiungere alcune informazioni extra necessarie.
Aggiunta di un utente amministratore al database di WordPress mediante una query SQL
Se siete uno sviluppatore, potete accelerare il processo utilizzando il codice.
È sufficiente inserire questa query SQL nel database:
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');
Assicurarsi di cambiare ‘databasename’ con il database con cui si sta lavorando.
Inoltre, non dimenticate di cambiare gli altri valori con quelli desiderati per il nuovo utente, come abbiamo spiegato nel primo metodo.

WARNING! If your WordPress database has a custom table prefix rather than wp_ you’ll need to use that for the capabilities and user_level entries or you’ll get issues trying to access the dashboard.
For example, if your database table prefix is wp_abcdef_ then you would use wp_abcdef_capabilities and wp_abcdef_user_level in the appropriate fields when inserting the usermeta table record.
Also, it is easy to get confused in phpmyadmin, think you didn’t press the Go button, and click the Go button again when adding a record.
WPBeginner Support says
Thank you for clarifying that should anyone run into an issue!

Dennis Muthomi says
this is super helpful for those times when you’re locked out of your site. I do have a quick question
I recently hired a freelance developer to work on a custom plugin for my site, but she needs admin access to get the job done.
the thing is, I’ve never given anyone else admin privileges before, and I’m a bit hesitant to hand over the admin rights,.Is there a way to create a temporary admin account or limit the time she has admin rights? I want to make sure my site stays secure while still giving her the access she needs.Thanks
WPBeginner Support says
For that we would recommend taking a look at our article below that covers some options available to you

The user is inserted. The site accepts the credentials
but
site does not allow use of admin panel: /wp-admin
“Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”
This is WordPress 6.4.2 & PHP 8.2
WPBeginner Support says
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!

It’s not working for me, sadly. I’ve checked and everything is showing in the database tables, but the website says the email address is not registered. If I try username it says it’s not recognised. Any ideas would be gratefully received!
WPBeginner Support says
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.
Andy says
Hi, thanks for the info. I’ve only been able to login as a general ‘User’ using this method – I can’t see/access the Admin Dashboard. The site is a directory site that i migrated from a backup to a new domain. Any suggestions to get full admin privileges?

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.

1. Please change the post to include information about table prefixes – a problem that appeared quite a few times in the comments and will keep you from succeeding if you just follow the post and have an alternative prefix.
2. Thanks for the information presented here

Thank you for your feedback about our post

Mandy says
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

Jan says
Yes this also worked me, Many Thanks!

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
Admin
Janne says
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?
j
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
Admin
Sofia says
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.
Please, can you help me?
WPBeginner Support says
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/

You would want to reach out to your hosting provider if that table is not with your database to see if they have a backup of your database to restore.

i did all these steps and my issue still the same, when I want to login to my wp-admin, show me this message “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.” please if know how to fix this I will so thankful
thank you
WPBeginner Support says
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/

Theo says
Make sure you replace wp_capabilities with the correct prefix, if you are using a custom one, for example asdf_capabilities
Emmanuel Ekanem says
Thank you for this info, Theo.
wp_capabilities didn’t work for me cos mine is custom and it’s wpix_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/

Thank you sooooo much for this. Just this morning my wordpress site was hacked and I could not login into wp-admin. It was giving “user not found” error. I used this to fix things in my hostgator account.

It is simple mate.See what is written in you database name.
Like in my case it was wprn_capabilities,wprn_user_level..
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!
