 * Hi, When I try to log in to my wordpress admin, in the normal way via [http://www.reviewthatbusiness.com/wp-login.php](http://www.reviewthatbusiness.com/wp-login.php),
   I get an Error 404 – Not Found although the page URL is [http://www.reviewthatbusiness.com/wp-admin.php](http://www.reviewthatbusiness.com/wp-admin.php).
   The ONLY way I can log in to admin now is via cPanel Softaculous, but my user
   role has been changed. I am now viewing the site as Membership Admin. I have 
   tried under this Membership Admin to create a new User Admin, but this does not
   work either. The main plugin Membership interacts with is ‘Business Directory
   Plugin’. Any ideas? Many thanks.

 * As an update to this, I no longer have any access to the admin area. Since no-
   one from the plugin developer has the decency to reply, I am left with no alternative
   than to reinstall wordpress and assume that this plugin is useless. I would strongly
   advise people NOT to use this plugin.

 * Hey there akingsail,
 * Hope you’re well today and sorry for the delay 🙁
 * There is a handy little snippet that allows you create admin account by adding
   it into theme functions.php.
 * Please check the following link:

 * Have a great day and please let us know if you need additional assistance 🙂

 * Hi [@akingsail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akingsail/),
 * I’m terribly sorry you had that trouble previously but I hope Bojan’s solution
   helps sort it out.
 * As you didn’t mention what it was that caused you to lose access as Admin, I 
   wasn’t sure if this was related directly to Membership but if so, we’d love to
   assist if it’s still an issue.
 * In case it helps to mention too, the following article shows how to add a new
   Admin through the database, and can be used for reference to change the user 
   role:

 * I hope Bojan’s and my own response have been helpful. We’d love to assist if 
   you have any questions, we’re keeping a keen eye going forward.
 * Meanwhile, I hope you’re having a great week. 🙂
 * Thanks,
    David
