How Do I Add an Admin to WordPress?

Adding an administrator to WordPress is simple and can be done in a few simple steps. First, log into your WordPress site and click the “Admin” menu item located in the left-hand column.

This will open the “Admin” screen.

On the “Admin” screen, locate the “Users” section and click on the “Add New” button. This will open the “User” screen.

On the “User” screen, you will need to provide a name for the new administrator and a password. Be sure to save the new administrator’s information by clicking on the “Save Changes” button.

Now that the administrator has been added, you will need to enable them to access the WordPress site’s administrative functions. To do this, locate the “Security” section of the “Admin” screen and click on the “Settings” button.

This will open the “Security” screen.

On the “Security” screen, locate the “Access Levels” section and click on the “Add New” button. This will open the “Access Levels” screen.

On the “Access Levels” screen, you will need to provide the administrator with the appropriate access level. The options that are available to you include:

• Administrator: This is the default access level and allows the administrator to access all of the site’s administrative functions.

• Editor: This access level allows the administrator to view and edit content but not to publish content.

• Author: This access level allows the administrator to view and edit content but not to publish it.

• Contributor: This access level allows the administrator to view and edit content but not to publish it and not have write access to the site’s database.

• Viewer: This access level allows the administrator to view the site but not to edit or publish content.

• Subscriber: This access level allows the administrator to view and edit content but not to publish it.

Once you have provided the administrator with the appropriate access level, click on the “Save Changes” button to save the changes to the “Security” screen.

Finally, you will need to ensure that the administrator has the correct permissions to access the WordPress site’s database. To do this, locate the “Settings” section of the “Admin” screen and click on the “Database” button.

This will open the “Database” screen.

On the “Database” screen, you will need to click on the “Grant” button and provide the administrator with the appropriate permissions. The options that are available to you include:

• Write: This permission allows the administrator to update the site’s database.

• Read: This permission allows the administrator to view the site’s database.

• No Access: This permission denies the administrator any access to the site’s database.

• Selective Access: This permission allows the administrator to have read and write access to the site’s database but not to update it.

Once you have provided the administrator with the appropriate permissions, click on the “Save Changes” button to save the changes to the “Database” screen.

Now that the administrator has been added, configured and granted the necessary permissions, they are ready to start working with WordPress site.
