You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

It seems to me strange that there are so many different fixes for the same problem. I have tried all the above and still get the same message when I try to do anything in the admin panel. In addition, everyone keeps mentioning the “cache” folder in the wp-includes folder, of which I do not have. I have a “cache” file, but no folder, and when I delete it, all I succeed in doing is getting a blank page instead of my admin panel.

I realize this is completely run by volunteers, and as such understand why it is not a simple fix, and why it is difficult to get an answer. However, I have seen so many posts about this, and so few real fixes…

Any ideas?

Ok, I’m an idiot, but still changes nothing apparently. I realize you meant the “cache” folder inside wp-content. I deleted that folder, and still get the permissions error.

I tried nearly all the suggestions provided in this tread. But nothing helped. But i finally managed to solve my problem by adding three lines in the wp-config.php:


define('DISABLE_CACHE', true);
set_magic_quotes_runtime('0');
ini_set("magic_quotes_gpc","0");

No everything i perfect.

That didnt work and I am still experiencing this problem, does any of the WordPress Technies know how to solve this one?

I have just experienced the same problem upgrading an 1.2 wordpress installation to 2.0.1.

I noticed that the upgrade script failed to upgrade the scheme for the wp_users table.
I didn’t have much time to fully backtrace the problem (I guess it had something to do with database user UPDATE permissions).

I made up the following quick solution:
temporarily set a user with full permission for use in wp-confing.php
changed the value to db_version record to something less than 3308 an greater than 2541. I randomly selected 3300.
rerun tha upgrade script.

Database schemas got updated and now everything works as expected.

hope this helps somebody

jObo, can you please detail your solution?

I’m having the same problem and can’t figure out how to solve it.

Thanks!

Someone wandered into WordPress with this problem. The usermeta table was created, but was empty.

I wrote this script, and it fixed his problems:
https://txfx.net/files/wordpress/force-upgrade.phps

As the name implies, it forces an upgrade (the upgrade_160() for all the 1.5 => 2.0 stuff).

It won’t fix every situations, but it’ll likely fix situations where people just need to force the upgrade.

Click “download” and save as force-upgrade.php and place it in your root WP directory. Access it via a browser. Delete it after it has run.

That’s great, markjaquith. Bookmarking your post. This seems to come up a lot!

Thanks GunnarHansen, that solved it for me!

I believe I may have found a solution. I looked in the MySql tables at the permissions and I found two entries for Capabilities. One was labeled wp_capabilities and the ther had my prefix and then capabilities. (IE – cfta_capabilities) I noticed that the CFTA one was set as a subscriber. So, I copied the WP permissions (as an Administrator) and pasted it into the cfta_capabilities location. I went back to the WP blog and refreshed.

i’m having a similar issue, but it seems to be caused by not being able to get the id of the currently logged in user from joomla

see my post about this:

i think the problem has to do with a bad database connection/table… its fixed in the newer versions. you could go and manualy change it but then again its too much work, better to start over w/ new version!

I am having the same problem. I have tried multiples fixes and it’s still not working.

I’ve also renamed my plugin folder, hoping that would help, but again, no go.

I also deleted my cache folder and re-upgraded.

I’m on version 2.0.3 and I was having this problem BEFORE upgrading. I upgraded hoping it would fix it.

What else can I try?

TEKKY your solution appears to have worked for me so far.

Another thing to try is disabling the “Bad Behavior” plugin.
