current_user_can(‘administrator’) returns false when I’m logged in

Normally for checking for administration privileges you have to check the “manage_options” capability, such as:

current_user_can('manage_options')

Alternatively, you want to list the roles with wp_get_current_user()->roles and ensure the “Administrator” role is in that array.

The capabilities you are checking for do not exist in a vanilla install of wp.
