user permissions problem after uninstalling bridge

[mattpist]

hi, yesterday i uninstalled my ipb2.0.3 to coppermine bridge, opting to go a different route (using another plugin to bridge coppermine to wordpress). the new bridge worked fine, with the exception that it threw my coppermine users and groups into chaos 

checking my user list, there's now an 'admin' user in the guests group and a user 'mattpist' (the former admin) in the 'validating' group. obviously, there is no way to change any of the user permissions now as i (mattpist) dont have enough priveliges. i guess there's a way i can go into the sql tables and fix this, but im not sure how. ive already uploaded (and captioned! ugh) almost 200 pics, so if i could avoid a reinstall, that would be great 

can i save my cp install? thanks for the help!

You can comment out the admin check on the groups page and then visit it directly in your browser. That should re-sync your groups.

groupmgr.php

Code Select Expand

if (!GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['access_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);

to

Code Select Expand

//if (!GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['access_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);

Remember to put it back afterwards.

Please note that neither the IPB2 bridge or the wordpress plugin/bridge you refer to are officially supported here.
