Access denied during Edit Flow import

    Hello,

    I’m trying to evaluate Publishpress as a replacement for Edit Flow. I installed version 3.4.1 locally via composer and it activated successfully. However, when I try to use the link to import data from Edit Flow (https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/?page=pp-efmigration&publishpress_import_editflow=1), I get a “Sorry you’re not allowed to access this page” error. I tried this using both my local admin test account (user: admin, pass: admin), and my actual admin user account from our production site. Both results were the same.

    Just to double check, I found the import functions in publishpress/modules/efmigration/efmigration.php. Specifically on line 93, there’s a check for user capabilities. It’s being passed correctly, but something else is blocking the correct functionality of the plugin.

    I’ve turned off other plugins, etc but that’s not really an option in production except as a last resort.

    Are there any other ways to import the data? Do you have any suggestions about what might be causing this error?

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Hi @aberkow. Thanks for trying PublishPress.

    Sorry, this isn’t an issue we’ve had reported before and I can’t see it in my testing here either. Do you have enough data / configuration settings that you’re not able to set up PublishPress manually?

    Hi @stevejburge thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

    I went down quite the rabbit hole yesterday debugging, but couldn’t find anything definitive. I can probably recreate the current Edit Flow settings in Publish Press. There aren’t so many, I just figured I’d give the import a shot first.

    Have you experienced conflicts between the plugins when they’re both active at the same time and the settings are being duplicated? I’m going to test it out, but I’m thinking about when I get to my prod server and people might be busy updating/publishing articles etc.

    thanks @aberkow

    I’ve not tested running the two side-by-side but wouldn’t recommend it. They are both forks of the same codebase.

    thanks @stevejburge

    oh no! I wasn’t thinking of running them side by side. I was just thinking about how I might migrate safely for our writers and editors if I need to change the settings manually. thanks for your time ??
