I just got hired as an editor to a website. They sent me the login and I’m only a subscriber. They explained there is an existing contract with the original theme/site developer and the developer is the only admin on the site. Ultimately i need to figure out how to duplicate the site while not being able to install plug-ins? They are getting new permissions for me to add pages/posts but that might be it. Outside of scraping the site is there any trick i can try? They want to re-negotiate with the developer, has anyone had an experience like this?
The API will give you access to page and post content, but this should be a last resort really…
Do they have access to the hosting panel and database? It is possible tin insert admin accounts in the DB.
