  Hi

  I have managed to remove my admin rights (through a plugin) from my user login so now I cant administer my account. Is there a way to add admin rights back to my login?

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

  Hi there
  You are asking in the wrong place! Since plugins are not allowed on sites hosted here at WordPress.Com, you must be referring to a site hosted someplace else. That is called a self-hosted, or sometime a WordPress.Org site.

  There is another set of forums at https://wordpress.org/support/ that can help you with this. They are experienced with self hosted sites, and with the things that do go wrong, like the situation you are in.

  You can learn more about the differences between your self hosted WordPress installation and the one we use here at the following 2 links:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ explains many of the differences between self-hosted and sites hosted at WordPress.Com
  https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com is a more who is who explanation.

  When you ask at https://wordpress.org/support/ make sure you tell them what plugin caused this.

  best,
  dave
