I have upgraded to MT and I noticed none of my blogs were showing up on the main page. They showed up under system overview, but I have no option to delete them. The only way I can get to the blogs themselves is by clicking on "entries" and then choosing an entry from the blog I want to be working on. BUT - when I created a new TEST blog, it shows up fine. So - I looked and I do not have a check in the box marked "system administrator" on my author permissions. I am guess THAT is the problem, but how do I change that? I never had a problem before this version.

That's odd I wonder how it happened. OK the easiest thing to do is executing this SQL statement if you're using an SQL database:

CODE
update mt_author set author_is_superuser = 1 where author_id = X


make sure that you replace X with your author_id. If you don't use an SQL database, you might try MT-Medic and check "User can create new weblogs" for your author.

This morning, I discovered that I could not add users or administer plug-ins. It turns out that when I upgraded to 3.2, it never modified the mt_author table. At this point, I've modified the table to match a fresh 3.2 install and used the update command to set the superuser. However, the suggestion above (filling in the proper author_id) still doesn't give me superuesr privileges.

Any other suggestions short of reinstalling (an absolute last resort at this point).
