    Hi everyone!

    I’m running a blog (https://thefreelancepinoy.com) under a second domain (https://stefgonzaga.com/thefreelancepinoy) on GoDaddy. Lately I’ve been having problems creating content on WordPress because according to WP, I don’t have permission to edit/preview drafts, which is important to me because I need to see the post first before publishing it online.

    Can anyone help me with this? Here are a couple more details about the hosting account:

    1. Windows hosting
    2. PHP version: PHP 5.x
    3. IIS Version: IIS 7.0
    4. MySQL Database
    5. Hostname: stefgonzaga.com/

    I hope this is enough. Thanks everyone and I greatly appreciate any advice you can give on this matter! ??

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    Yup, I tried deactivating the plug-ins and have experienced this problem while using the Twenty Ten theme. It’s driving me crazy. 0.0

    Have you checked the permissions for the file/s in the file manager of your cpanel?

    644 for most

    That I haven’t tried. Sorry if this sounds noobish, but do I really have to set the permissions to 644 for ALL of my files? Is there a way to select all and change the permissions all together?

    Don’t apologise, everyone has to start somewhere.

    Permission are usually set to allow editing
    but odd things can occcur.

    Go to your cPanel on GoDaddy.
    Click File Manager
    -> public_html
    -> wp-content
    -> themes
    -> your theme
    See the list in the panel. Last column headed Perms.
    js and images will be 0755, all others should be 0644
    Click any file not so.
    Click Change permissions – there’s a key logo.
    tick Read for User, Group, World
    tick Write for User
    Click Chamge Permissions button.

    Now you should be able to edit.

    Thank you veterran for the step-by-step instructions! ?? I’m still confused though about the files. I’m seeing cache, epanel (this one’s part of the theme I use), images, includes, js, lang, sampledata, and temp folders. Which one affects my previewing permissions? All the other script files don’t have an option to change permissions.

    Hey everyone! After doing a lot of research on this problem, I finally figured out how to solve this!

    Like I said, my blog’s on a second domain and my WordPress files for this second domain are in a subdirectory as well. The problem was the WordPress address and the Blog address were different. Thinking that the WordPress address is supposed to be https://stefgonzaga.com/thefreelancepinoy since the WordPress files for thefreelancepinoy.com are in this particular subdirectory, that’s what I placed in the WordPress address field in the General Settings.

    So here’s what you should do do:

    1. In the General settings, make sure that the WordPress address is exactly the same as your Blog address (some people seem to encounter this issue when any of the URLs have “www.” in it, so I made sure there was none for both.
    2. Click “Save”.
    3. Log in using WP-admin URL that takes you to the Dashboard. For example, if you’ve been using https://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin and it always takes you to the Dashboard successfully, keep it up. Don’t change it to https://wordpress.com/wp-admin because it’ll keep redirecting you to WP’s log-in panel.

    And it worked! Hope this is understandable and that it will help others who are in the same situation as I’m in. ??
