How Do I Change User Role in WordPress Database?

Changing user role in WordPress database is a time-consuming task. But it is not impossible.

In fact, it is very easy to do.

First, you will need to login to your WordPress admin area. Then, go to the Users menu and select Add New User.

Enter the user name, password, and email address. Then, click the Create User button.

The next step is to go to the WordPress database. In this example, we will use the wp_users table. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command:

sqlite3 wp_users.sql

This will open the wp_users table in the WordPress database. You will need to use the correct database name if you are not using the default WordPress database.

Next, you will need to change the user role for the new user. To do this, use the following SQL commands:

ALTER USER username Roles= Editor;

ALTER USER username Roles= Author;.
