Har du någonsin glömt din husnyckel och känt dig fast utomhus? Att bli utelåst från din WordPress-webbplats kan kännas ungefär så. Det är superfrustrerande, särskilt om hackare har raderat ditt administratörskonto. Men oroa dig inte, du kan komma tillbaka in.
Tänk på din webbplats som ett hus med en hemlig bakdörr. Bakdörren är webbplatsens databas, och den nås vanligtvis med hjälp av MySQL-kod. Det låter kanske komplicerat, men det är som en uppsättning instruktioner som du kan använda för att göra ändringar på din webbplats bakom kulisserna.
I den här artikeln ska vi lära dig hur du använder MySQL för att skapa ett helt nytt administratörskonto för din webbplats, precis som att få en ny nyckel till ditt hus. På så sätt kan du låsa ute hackarna och ta tillbaka kontrollen.
Varför ska man add to en Admin-användare till WordPress Database via MySQL?
Vi runnade en gång på en issue där en användares site hackades och deras admin account blev borttaget från databasen. Detta låste dem ute från deras website i WordPress.
Vi kunde hjälpa dem att få tillgång till sin website genom att skapa en new admin användare direkt till WordPress-webbplatsen. Vi gjorde det med hjälp av phpMyAdmin, ett webbaserat verktyg som allow you att hantera MySQL databaser med hjälp av din web browser.
Om du är utelåst från ditt admin area i WordPress på grund av hackare eller för att du helt enkelt har glömt ditt password, kan du göra samma sak.
Du bör dock alltid göra en backup av din database innan du utför några MySQL edits. När du sedan kan logga in på din website igen, kan du behöva följa vår guide för nybörjare för att fixa din hackade WordPress site.
Med detta sagt, låt oss ta en titt på hur man addar en admin-användare till WordPress database via MySQL.
Lägga till en admin-användare i WordPress Database med phpMyAdmin
phpMyAdmin kommer förinstallerat med de flesta högst upp WordPress webbhotell. You can find it in the Databases section of your hosting account’s cPanel dashboard.
Här är en skärmdump från Bluehost-kontrollpanelen:
Om du klickar på ikonen öppnas phpMyAdmin-gränssnittet. You need to select your WordPress database from the left column.
Därefter kommer phpMyAdmin att visa alla tabeller i din WordPress database. Du kommer att göra ändringar i tabellerna wp_users och wp_usermeta.
Lägga till en användare i wp_users-tabellen
Först måste du hitta tabellen wp_users och clicka på den. Då visas de användare som för närvarande finns i tabellen.
Notice in the screenshot below that there are two user ID:s in our demo website’s table, 1 and 2. When we create a new user for our demo site, this ID needs to be unique, so we’ll type the number 3.
Du måste clicka på tabben ”Insert” högst upp på vyn så att du kan inserta informationen för en ny användare.
Add to följande information till fälten i formuläret Infoga:
ID:n: välj ett unikt nummer (i vårt exempel använder vi 3)user_login: användarnamnet som ska användas vidlogginguser_pass: add a password, och se till att välja MD5 i funktionsmenyn (se screenshot under)user_nicename: användarens fullständiga namn eller smeknamnuser_email: användarens email addressuser_url: adressen till din websiteuser_registered: select det datum och den tid då användaren registrerades med hjälp av kalendernuser_activation_key: lämna tomtuser_status: sätt detta till 0display_name: användarens fullständiga namn eller displaynamn
När du har slutfört, se till att du klickar på knappen ”Go” för att lagra den nya användaren.
Lägga till en användare i wp_usermeta-tabellen
Nu måste du hitta tabellen wp_usermeta och clicka på den. Efter det ska du klicka på tabben ”Insert” som du gjorde i föregående steg.
Följaktligen måste du add to följande information till formuläret Infoga:
unmeta_id: lämna detta tomt (det kommer att genereras automatiskt)user_id: det ID:n för användaren som du använde i föregående stegmeta_key: detta bör varawp_capabilitiesmeta_value: insert this:a:1:{s:13:"administratör";s:1:"1";}
När du sedan rullar nedåt hittar du fält för en andra row. Du måste add to följande information:
unmeta_id: lämna detta tomt (det kommer att genereras automatiskt)user_id: det ID:n för användaren som du använde i de föregående stegenmeta_key: du måste enterwp_user_levelmeta_värde: 10
När du har slutfört att enter informationen i fälten måste du klicka på knappen ”Go”. Grattis, du har nu skapat ett nytt användarnamn för administratörer!
Nu bör du kunna logga in på din WordPress admin area med användarnamn och password som du angav för den här användaren.
Så snart du loggar in måste du navigera till Användare ” Alla användare och sedan klicka på användarnamnet du just skapat.
Nu, utan att ändra något, rullar du längst ner på sidan och klickar på knappen ”Save”.
This will allow WordPress to clean up the user you just created and add to some extra information that is needed.
Lägga till en Admin-användare i WordPress Database med hjälp av en SQL-sökning
Om du är utvecklare kan du påskynda processen med hjälp av kod.
Du behöver bara lägga in denna SQL-fråga i din 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');
Se till att du ändrar ”databasename” till den database du arbetar med.
Glöm inte heller att ändra de andra värdena till dem du vill ha för den nya användaren, som vi förklarade i den första metoden.

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
Thank you for clarifying that should anyone run into an issue!

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

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.

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.

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.

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
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?
j
WPBeginner Support
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

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/

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

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
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/

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!
