Problem post 2.03 upgrade

If you are getting a message telling you that you don’t have permission to do something, then it’s a permissions issue. WordPress has soles (administrator, editor, author, etc) and those roles have capabilities (edit_posts, edit_links, etc). If it says you can’t do something than your user must belong to a role that lacks the capability.

You can try the Role Manager plugin to add the necessary capabilities to your user… assuming that your user can edit_users

Some people have found that the force upgrade script I wrote fixes some permissions issues.

Thanks Mark. I added the Role Manager plugin and it solved the problem. I’m now able to delete things I wasn’t before.

And I just wanted to add that I’m the owner and sole admin and user on my wordpress. I was able to do everything before, but after the upgrade that’s when the “you don’t have permission” errors started even though my user profile said I was the admin. Thanks for your help!

I am having this same problem.
added the tune-up
added the role manager
still no luck

I hav just installed a fresh installation of 2.03.
So I didnt do the force-upgrade. should I try it anyways?

Oh and I am admin, am the only user so I should be right.

markjaquith: that force upgrade thing did the trick for me! woo, thanks! ??

I first ran into this issue after upgrading from 2.0.x (either 2.0.1 or 2.0.2) to 2.0.4. All I had to do to solve this issue was delete the browser cookies from my site and www.remarpro.com, empty my browser cache, close the browser, relaunch and log back in to my wp-admin

monfresh’s answer is what finally worked for me… though I had tried the forced upgrade, the tuneup and the role manager plugin.

Thanks monfresh…

My install of 2.0.3 was a new one via Fantastico on CPanel. I’m getting the same thing about not being able to delete posts.

I’ve tried the Tune-Up plugin, the Role Manager plugin, deleting cookies etc as suggested by monfresh, and nothing works – I *still* can’t delete my own admin posts.

There are no other users but me as Admin.

I haven’t tried the forced upgrade as I didn’t upgrade – am I right in thinking it’s only for upgrades?

Is there any other way around this problem? <tearing my hair out…>

OK, I found a way to do it, not that it resolves it as such, but it’s a way. If I go to edit a post, I can delete it with success from within the post itself. I guess it’ll have to do for now till they find a fix ??

I can confirm this is still happening, 2.1.2 upgrade from 2.1alpha3. Tried the force-upgrade, deleting cache and cookies, deactivated all plugins.

stingray55’s discovery worked as well, however can not delete from the manage posts page.
