XF 2.1 No longer Super Admin

[Stan]

For some reason I am no longer super admin. How can I re-obtain superadmin. Can I do it from phpmyadmin?

Thanks

As far as I know the only way to set that is in src/config.php.

$config['superAdmins'] = '1';

...where 1 is your user ID.

That is no longer required with XF 2.x. Super admins are designated in the ACP.

Can I tick Super administrator when " I am no longer super admin "?

 

[Steve F]

No, you have to be a Super Administrator to access the Administrator's page.

So any idea how to change my status?

 

[Steve F]

What are the results when you visit /admin.php?admins/ on your site? Do you receive a no permission error or similar?

 

[Stan]

I get this error:

You must be a super administrator to access this page. This can be configured in the Administrators section of the Admin CP.

Sorry to bring up an old post but what was the answer?

 

[FTL]

Yes, I'd like to know too.

How are you losing super admin status?

Typically the only way that would happen under normal conditions is if another super admin demotes the account.

Managed to fix it using myphp.
