Hello,

Glad you figured the issue out.

The admin’s user_id is not 0, it should be 1 by default.

I think WordPress starts counting from 1 because in MySQL, the primary keys for users, posts, etc are defined as AUTO_INCREMENT columns, and AUTO_INCREMENT columns start from 1.

In fact, if you are certain that the user_id of the admin is 0, you may be facing bigger problems, caused by improperly exporting and reimporting a database via phpMyAdmin. I have blogged about it here. Are you able to create new posts? If not, you may be ecountering this issue.

Hope this helps.
