How to Make Me an Administrator in WordPress

Assigning an administrator role in WordPress gives the user full access to manage your site, including adding or editing content, installing plugins, and managing users. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making someone an administrator in WordPress.

Step 1: Log in to WordPress

1. Go to your WordPress login page, usually at yourdomain.com/wp-admin.
2. Enter your Username and Password and click Log In.

Step 2: Navigate to the Users Section

1. In the WordPress dashboard, locate the menu on the left-hand side.
2. Click on Users > All Users to view all existing users.

Step 3: Add a New User

If the person you want to make an administrator isn’t already a user on your site, you’ll need to add them:

1. Go to Users > Add New.
2. Fill in the required fields:
   • Username: A unique identifier for the user.
   • Email Address: The user’s email where they’ll receive their account details.
   • First Name and Last Name (optional but recommended).
   • Password: You can either set a password or let WordPress auto-generate one.
3. Under Role, select Administrator from the dropdown menu.
4. Check the box to send the new user an email about their account (optional).
5. Click Add New User.

Step 4: Change an Existing User’s Role

If the person already has an account but isn’t an administrator yet:

1. Go to Users > All Users.
2. Find the user in the list and click Edit under their name.
3. Scroll down to the Role section.
4. Select Administrator from the dropdown menu.
5. Click Update User to save the changes.

Step 5: Verify Access

The user should now have full administrative access to your site. You can ask them to log in to confirm their new role.

Important Notes:

• Be Cautious: Administrators have full control of your site. Only assign this role to trusted individuals.
• Revoke Access if Necessary: If someone no longer needs admin access, you can return to the Users section and change their role or delete their account.
