Accidentally downgraded myself

Hey all!

I was making a fake account with an alternate e-mail so I could create a guide for my contributors as to how to create an account. However, I accepted the request I sent myself while logged into my administrative account for my blog, and I managed to demote myself to author instead of administrator, so I no longer have administrative control over my blog. Is there any way around this or do I have to wait until the 29th so that can get fixed? Thanks in advance!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Daniel, I think I might have the same problem. I was sending invites to students and there were multiple students logged in on the same computer while I was logged in as an admin and I think I accepted an invitation from myself to become an author.

Do you think you could help me as well?

I would be so grateful if you did. I have a class on Friday and it would be soooo humiliating to not have admin rights

Thank you!

Hi Daniel,

I have the same problem. I think I accidentally downgraded my account to a contributor. Can you please make me an administrator again?
