OP how can i recovery/reset the password/access details to the back-end of a self hosted site on wordpress platform so as to create a new admin username/password to work on the site...thanks

1. Is the account the only admin account you have?

If NO

-Login through the other admin account and change password for the one you forgot/misplaced

If YES

- Select Forgot password and follow prompt, check email for link to reset password, that should do

Kudos for creating this trend. Pls help review this blog www.adedokun.com Ǻn̶̲̥̅̊ԃ also having need re-designing the blog www.naijaidol.com. Ÿ̲̣̣̣̥ø̲̣̣̥u̶̲̥̅̊ can also hep review both. Thanks

Ok.

Adedokun.com
- you chose a nice theme, but you can tweak it better.
- centralize your advert/logo on the header
- you have a broken code at the footer, check image attached
- What is a LOGIN button doing at the top left, you dont need it man

NaijaIdol.com
- This is a tweaked Carrington theme I suppose
- In as much as you did extra work, the logo is too big
- You need a DESKTOP THEME, let mobile theme remain for mobile devices

Cheers

1. Yes, that's the only admin account.

2. i can't select forgot password because i am not privy to have access to the original email address used in setting up the site cuz thats where the reset link will be sent too. Am the new I.T guy, the previous I.T guy left under disturbing circumstances and all efforts to retrieve all access details from him have proved abortive.

Please review www.naijachronicles.com for me. I am thinking of changing the green background to white background and also changing the logo.

You also suggested to someone to self host his blog, what's the best host in your opinion that's better than the one I am currently using and what's the difference? Also, how do I improve the website speed?

Thanks in advance!

Your website is slow.

- Change your background to plain color, preferably white, so that the design can come out well.
- In my opinion... well... I use Justhost and I am not ready to change anytime soon
- To increase your speed, optimize your website (http://www.sparringmind.com/speed-up-wordpress/)

Yes i do

If “Lost your password?” confirmation e-mails do not arrive or if you have no access to the e-mail account connected to your administrative dashboard, you can reset your password via MySQL database.

1. Log in your cPanel > section Files > File manager and navigate to the document root of your WordPress website.

2. To check what database is being used for your WordPress website, open wp-config.php file located in

[Image 1]


3. Go to cPanel > Databases section > phpMyAdmin

4. Select the database in question, table wp-users and click on Edit next to admin user


[Image 2]

5. On the next page type in your new strong password into user_pass box, select MD5 in Function column and click Go

[Image 3]

This is it!

You can now go back to WordPress dashboard page and try to login with the new password.

Thanks for your help. Are there other features or plugins you may recommend. I will change the background to white, work on a better logo and speed. I currently use hostgator but will consider justhost.

Again, thanks for your review.

Bros... hostgator is equally good... you can just keep upgrading ur plan as need arises or ur pocket allows

About plugin and features... use plugin when you have no choice... i shy away from plugin all d tym... i rather get my hands dirty dan use a plugin

Features... look at other blogs/websites and pick one or two things from them

There are different methods to verify your website, I suggest using the MetaTag, its the easiest and simplest,

Just add the tag before you </head> tag
