You need a higher level of permission. Still happening.

I know there have been several reports of permission problems with WordPress. I’ve been down the road of removing all plugins, repairing splitting / global terms etc, and nothing stops this problem. I’ve seen the bug response noting the slug UNIQUE index attribute that has been distributed already to 5.8 users.

I’ve also created manually my own term in the database and performed all the manual updates to migrate existing posts to my newly created slug only to discover that WordPress has seemingly burned out all uses of the term somewhere deep in the core. There has to be a database conflict. I have no tags / terms with the same phases.

I’ve tracked down the check that is failing but have no idea how to correct it.

The check in edit-tags.php line 166 in WP 5.8 fails at the current_user_can() check. I’ve run a plugin to ensure that the ADMIN level has all WP permissions. No change.

I need to know what other associations exist between a POST and a TERM esp as they relate to user permissions. I’m level 10.

Where is the show_ui triggered?

The database is so simple I don’t understand how the core is getting confused. Again, I have ZERO plugins enable so that isn’t a viable excuse at this point.

Some Categories can be edited (NEW) and some I created a few years ago are suddenly suffering a permission problem. There has to be a conflict in settings. Is there a JSON entry with term IDs?

This seems to be plaguing many developers without any solution.

Thanks in advance.
