That should be an and statement, not or - you cant be both an editor and admin so it it'll always be false. Dont forget the comparison will be case sensitive too.

[code
<?php
]if ($_SESSION["UserLevel"] != "Editor" || $_SESSION["UserLevel"] != "Admin"){
header("Location: /admin/admin.php?action=editorlevel");
}
?>

 

its because you are using OR, it sees that your level is not an editor and the if statement results as true, and in turn running the code in its body, use && instead of ||

 

so it reads if your level isn't editor AND its not an ADMIN, then redirect them
