How are we supposed to use this plugin?

It’s all accessed through the front end, by default go to https://yoursite.com/glotpress/projects

I did and it shows the projects. Then I wanted to create a new project and got “You’re not allowed to do that” error. I am logged is as admin.

Are you logged in as the same user as you installed the plugin as?

Yes, I am.

Humm… can you check the wp_gp_permissions table (use phpmyadmin) and see which accounts are listed with admin rights?

wp_gp_permissions table has not been created during the activation.

That’s a problem, are any of the other GP tables created?

Yes. There are 6 tables created.

Which ones?

wp_gp_glossaries
wp_gp_glossary_entries
wp_gp_meta
wp_gp_projects
wp_gp_translations
wp_gp_translation_sets

Your missing two tables, try running the following sql code:

CREATE TABLE wp_gp_permissions (
		id INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
		user_id INT(10) DEFAULT NULL,
		action VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,
		object_type VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,
		object_id VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,
		PRIMARY KEY  (id),
		KEY user_id_action (user_id,action)
	);

Thanks. The second one?

No errors when creating the first one?

CREATE TABLE wp_gp_originals (
		id INT(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
		project_id INT(10) DEFAULT NULL,
		context VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,
		singular TEXT NOT NULL,
		plural TEXT DEFAULT NULL,
		<code>references</code> TEXT DEFAULT NULL,
		comment TEXT DEFAULT NULL,
		status VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '+active',
		priority TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
		date_added DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,
		PRIMARY KEY  (id),
		KEY project_id_status (project_id, status),
		KEY singular_plural_context (singular(63), plural(63), context(63))
	);

#1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘&lt’ at line 7

You’ll also need to add yourself as an admin in the permissions table:

INSERT INTO <code>wp_gp_permissions</code> (<code>id</code>, <code>user_id</code>, <code>action</code>, <code>object_type</code>, <code>object_id</code>) VALUES
(1, [your user id], 'admin', NULL, NULL);

replace [your user id] with the id of your user.
