I screwed up while editing in widgets

  I need some help. I made a few ‘simple’ menu edits in the widgets area today after logging on as administrator, and afterwards the ‘sign in’ option on the main screen disappeared. I have no doubt it was my fault.

  Blog is simplytim.Wordpress.com. Been a member for quite a while but my fingers ain’t what they used to be and, well, apparently neither is my brain.

  Thanks.

  Hi! Do you mean the old meta widget that had a login link? If so I want to say that was actually deprecated a while ago, so, not your fault! If you want to re-add a link to wp-admin, you can add it through an HTML widget on your site.

  I am concerned that anyone who visits my site has admin privileges.

  You are the only admin on the site, and there are two other users with Editor roles:

  Here you can see who is in your team and change their role if needed:
