“you don’t have premissions to access the page”

  • Adding new plugin, duplicating pages, updating WP, etc., is unavailable, seems like a permissions issue.

    I’ve tried:
    1. deactivating plugins
    2. editing my username and making sure it’s set on administrator (there’s only one member)

    Would appreciate help and explanation. I don’t know how to code and edit php / css / html. I don’t know what happened, I do believe my user had acess to new plugins feature etc. before.

    Thanks

    Hi @dorchy ,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    I understand that you are limited to what you are able to do in the dashboard due to a permissions notice.

    I’ve tried:
    1. deactivating plugins
    2. editing my username and making sure it’s set on administrator (there’s only one member)

    Awesome troubleshooting steps so far, since that can be ruled out, please could you do the following:

    – Clear your site and browser cache: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-clear-your-cache-in-wordpress
    – try refreshing your .htaccess file by navigating to Settings > Permalink settings in your dashboard, and resave your current settings without making any changes, to see if that makes any difference?
    – switch your theme to the default WordPress Twenty Twenty-Two theme, and see if the issue is still present?

    Please let me know how it goes!

    thank you @roxannestoltz ,
    I appreciate your kind answer.

    So I’ve tried it all, to no avail.
    Do you have any more ideas? ??

    Hi @dorchy ,

    Thanks for the update.

    The next step would be to check your site error logs by getting a readout of what PHP errors might be causing the issue. The best way to do this would be to enable wp_debug.

    Please could you follow the steps in this article to enable debugging:

    Please see the documentation below on how to access the wp-config file:

    Editing wp-config

    Once you have the debug log, please could you share it here so that I can see if there are any specific errors. This will help me troubleshoot the issue better.

    Thanks!
