    Hi all,

    I'm painfully new, and have been scouring the user manual for about 12 hours straight to get acclimated.

    I just set up protection for my WP blog folder, but now I find that I can't get in!

    *** I'll let the laughter die down ***

    I know I need to set myself up as a user, but am not sure how to go about it. I have one "product" which costs $XX per month, but I don't think that's how I want to set myself up.

    I've got the WP plug in, and I must admit I know nothing about "roles" or levels. I need to still be the "admin" in Word Press, the one who can make posts, etc. So, do I need to create a "free" membership and give it all access? Seems kind of risky, because then if I give my affiliates a "free" access, they can do everything too.

    I'm hopelessly lost, and I hope this makes sense.

    So,
    How do I get into my own blog, and still be the admin?
    What is the best way to set this up?

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Lauren

    Create a new product in amember called Admin with administrator privileges in wordpress.
    Add that product to the member you want to give admin privileges to.

    You should now be able to log into your wordpress admin page.
