 * Hello there,
 * I’ve noticed that all the meta_values for meta_key “wp_capabilities” in table
   wp_usermeta of my WordPress database for users with Administrator role start 
   with:
 * >  a:5:{s:17:”ndp_administrator”;a:2:{s:4:”name”;s:13:”Administrator”;s:12:”capabilities”;
   > a:62:
   >  …
 * Why is the first string ndp_administrator and not just administrator? If I create
   a new user with the default WP Administrator role it still comes out the same.
   It seems to create problems when I try to install plugins that can modify capabilities,
   e.g. User Role Editor and Capability Manager Enhanced. Yes, I have posted on 
   those plugin forums and am waiting on replies.
 * Any help appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Jim
