AI-generated summary
Abbas_Muhammad reported losing admin access to his forum, applecommunity.pk, after a Discourse update, despite being able to see his user profile as an admin. Bas investigated and suggested troubleshooting steps, including clearing cache, checking Cloudflare settings, and having Hamza reset his admin permissions. After re-running the update, Abbas_Muhammad confirmed access was restored. pfaffman also provided a terminal command to recreate the admin account if needed.
PS i did the discourse update yesterday
Can you navigate directly to http://applecommunity.pk/admin ?
That is strange. So you are saying that Hamza is able to log in as admin, but you are not?
Could you try a different browser, just to be sure that it isn’t a cache thing?
even tried the new browser still same 
this is so frustrating
I would suggest you ask Hamza to:
- Remove admin access for you
- Click the “log out user” button on your user’s admin area
- restore your admin access
If that doesn’t work, something else must be amiss.
I see that you are running cloudflare, please make sure that you have followed the instructions here:
I Ran the update again and its back now!
Thanks for ur help
If you have shell access you can
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rake admin:create
