Oops… forgot to change my a:2 to a:1 after removing the bbpress capability. So now, when I remove s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1; from my wp_capabilities and properly set my administrator serial.
Then…
I go to the dashboard and click “plugins” to view the bbpress plugin. Before I take another action, I view my database to find s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1; added back to my wp_capabilities field.
Still stumbling around on this…
I looked into my user meta under wp_capabilities and found the bbpress access rights. s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;
When I delete this from my wp_capabilities I lose all access to the dashboard and administrator functions. I put it back into database and functions return to normal.
Still digging…
I did switch on debugging… but it doesn’t throw an error. And I disabled all and selected a different theme… same problem.
I’ve even re-installed wordpress (through the dashboard) but it didn’t fix the problem… Thanks for digging in and offering help. I’ll keep searching.
One of the first things I attempted. Renaming does the same as “deactivating” the plugin. There are no other bbPress related plugins.
It is acting like a script issue where the Admin functions aren’t finding the proper variables. But I’m not a pro coder… just a logic guy.
Cannot deactivate – same issue. Must leave activated to keep access to my WP-Admin. As long as I stay in the WP dashboard, I can work with it. If I leave the WP-Admin – I cannot access the WP dashboard.
I was locked out – then discovered if I used the Admin bar to view “comments”, it would load the dashboard w/o the “dashboard link”. Then re-activated the bbPress plugin (as it was the last known action before losing dashboard access). When I reactivated – the wp-dashboard was back to normal with full functions.
