Permissions Error on wp-admin.php, posts not found

  • Hi,

    I’m experiencing a common error. I get the following message when I login or go to wp-admin.php:

    “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

    Additionally, when I click on any post link, I am directed to the 404 “Not Found” page.

    See for yourself: https://kickstand.tv/den

    I have this WordPress installation nested within another wordpress installation (kickstand.tv) and I have also tried to install bbpress in a subdirectory at kickstand.tv/den/forums. i have since deleted bbpress in an effort to solve this problem, but i wonder if it played a part in this issue. i have not tried to update wordpress at all since first installing it, and was not getting this error when i first installed and added blog posts. i can’t say if it started immediately after installing bbpress.

    I realize that this is a common error, but it seems that it can be any number of problems and going through the support topics related to this error has not helped me to solve this. one common solution was to check and be sure that the database table prefix is the same on the wp-config.php file and in the database itself. this looks okay.

    please help if you can! this is frustrating, especially as the site is live.

  • I had an error like this before which was caused by a bad .htaccess file – make sure you have these lines in your .htaccess 

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    yeah, the .htaccess file is fine. thanks for your suggestion.

    Make sure your wordpress in /den is using the correct url – General-Settings-Wordpress address(url) should be kickstand.tv/den, Blog address (url) should also be kickstand.tv/den. You can also edit these in the database if you cannot access wp-admin.

    Browse table wp_options – cell 1 siteurl – make sure it is set to kickstand.tv/den, cell 39 home – make sure it is set to kickstand.tv/den, finally i would adjust cell 60 upload_path to to kickstand.tv/den as well.

    hmm, i’m a little confused where to find those settings in the database.

    this is what the den_options table contains.

    i still really need help with this issue. i discovered that if i login with another administrator user/pass, i am able to access the GUI, but problems persist with the database. I’m going to reinstall.
