Cannot edit pages in Wordpress - wordpress

Somebody gave me their admin account of a website made using Wordpress. I can log into the wp-admin page of the website but the index page does not show the Pages section at all. The only things available are Dashboard, Jetpack, Profile, and Visual Composer. The dashboard gives the message that there is 'no activity yet!' Is this account not the admin account or something went wrong? Would appreciate your help a lot!

It seems like the user don't have sufficient permissions with which you are logging.

After logging in to the admin panel, open the page of the website from front end(not admin panel). On the top right you should get EDIT option, IF you have permissions to do so.

Wordpress site not redirecting to dashboard after login

I am trying to login on my wp site, when I am given correct admin details the landing page coming up and there are no admin dashboard showing, I tried many more plugin disabled option but the problem not solved, even I tried to reset password for admin access after changed it the same result appeared like no dashboard section rather than frontend. Please give me a solution. Thanks in advance.
Seems like some others developed the site. If you are coder/programmer try the below
Login to hosting
Open PHP My Admin or any mysql UI tool
Open Prefix_users, usually this will be wp_users
see list of users and check if you have admin permissions. Sample below
user_id - specific user id
meta_key - wp_capabilities
meta_value - a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}
then save the DB record. Else get programmer support

How to set a login page to see the website in wordpress?

i'm a beginner and I'm trying to set a login page on my website build in wordpress. Searching on google I don't find a solution for my issue. There are a lot of plugins that customize the login page in wp-admin to acces at the backend. What I'm trying to do is different. I'd like to put a login page at my website www.example.com (home page) and after the user has insered the credentials, he can see everything on the website. I don't know how to start. Every suggests are appreciate. Thank you in advance
If you're ok with using WP users table and auth systems you could put template content inside a conditional to check if users are logged in.
It isn't elegant but it would get you what you want.

wordpress plugin is not working in the user admin panel

I've made a plugin for my WordPress and its working fine with the admin panel.
I've given a collaborator access to a user and that user can login with his details, he has limited options on the admin menu which he can use.
The plugin is not showing on that menu can anyone tell me is it possible to give users or a specific user access of that plugin?
i need help thank you in advance.
You can use the Adminimize plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/adminimize/ and you can set the privileges whom you need to show up the plugin when the login is successful at their sign up accounts.

Wordpress multiste sign-up

I need to register an user only in the current blog. When I go to http://multisite.com/subblog/wp-login.php?action=register it redirects to http://multisite.com/wp-signup.php. If I register an user here then I have acces to all blogs and I don't want this.
How can I solve this?
Thanks
Do you have Wordpress Multisite setup? If so, from my experience I think that you need to login to the main control panel as the superadmin. After that, at the top of the sidebar in the control panel there should be a network settings button.
Click that, and from there you should be able to access a list of blogs in the install, and from there you can select an individual blog and add users from there.
The key is that with a multiuser setup you can access all blog settings from the one superuser account which might be why you're having the redirect issue.

WordPress MU: Login from main page but not individual blogs

I recently upgraded to WPMU 2.8.6 and ever since, my users can't log in on their individual blogs, but they can log in from the main page.
My site is at blogs.mtwp.net (we're a school district).
So if a user goes to blogs.mtwp.net/BLOGNAME/wp-login.php, their password is rejected. If they go to blogs.mtwp.net/wp-login.php, they can log in and get to the dashboard from there.
But it's not all users. Site admins can get in just fine.
We're using wpDirAuth 1.4 if that makes a difference.
Honestly, I'm stumped. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
you would seem to have enabled the WPdirauth plugin at the top level blog but not on others. Only your top level blog will have the necessary information to connect to your directory.
Site admins are not typically part of your internal directory - they're a Wordpress user which means they can still log-in ok without needing to connect to Active Directory or whatever you're using.
Enable WPdirauth on all blogs that you need users to login to.
Try reviewing your wp-config file. You should see something like this:
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
Depending on how you've configured Wordpress, this must be enabled to log in to the dashboard of secondary sites.
