XF 1.5 Why all profiles are showing up as administrator ?

[garry420]

Hello All,

I added an addon yesterday to remove home page section from profile, but today when i was looking at profiles all the registered members are showing as administrator's.
I have edited two profiles manually to members.
Can anyone guide me how to change the settings of all back to normal.
This Post is example of 1 such thing

Before you do any of that you need to determine what you have done.

You say that your Admin can't do anything. So you need to check which user groups Admin is in (by editing the user and then checking which user groups are ticked and which aren't). If it's not correct (and I suspect it isn't) you need to ensure that Admin has the correct user groups assigned to them.

Once you have sorted out Admin, you need to look at a few of your users one at a time (by editing each one in the ACP) to check which user groups they are in and whether or not this is correct.

If all of these users are in Administrative, user Batch Update users to find all users (search by using Registered as the primary user group assuming that everyone has this, which is the correct setting) and then remove them from the Administrative user group (make sure afterwards that you didn't remove yourself, if you did add yourself back). You may then need to use Batch Update users to add users back to other user groups. This you'll have to work out yourself as only you know how your user groups were set up.

You should have Registered as your primary user group (the dropdown menu where you currently have Administrative) and Administrative as one of the secondary user groups.

Everyone should have Registered as their primary user group. See this guide for details:
