Alright, just for grins, even when I upgrade to 1.5, I get the same error message.

I thought about that, too, but in the other threads where this is addressed, it is people upgrading from 1.5 to 2.0.1 or 2. So I’m pretty sure that’s not it.

I tried importing a good user_metadata table from my working local copy of my blog. Instead, all that happened is I got an error: “You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=15 ‘ at line 9” and now there is no user_metadata table.

WHAT IS GOING ON???

I think I may have figured out what the problem is… for some reason, my user_metadata table is completely empty. I installed an identical version of wordpress on my local machine, and with no posts and one author it’s populated. So, since I backed up my database before upgrading, can I just reimport that old database info, and use my old user-metadata?

I’ve tried those solutions, and it is not fixing my problem. I still get just the dashboard, and when I try to do anything, including viewing my own profile, I get ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I agree… I’ve tried several of the “fixes” mentioned, and they’re either too complex or they don’t fully address the issue. This needs to be marked “unresolved,” or at least have some memeber of the development team step in and state definitively what’s going on so we’re not all hacking out our databases. An upgrade should not break your blog.

Well, if someone else knows how to solve this, please jump in.

I have that exact same problem (and posted about it). Please someone help!

Maybe I haven’t made myself clear. The problem is not with post.php. I am logged in with an account with a permission level of 10, and when I try to access any page other than the default admin page, I get the following error message: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

That is not a big from bad code in post.php, it is an issue with wordpress not recognizing that I have permissions to access these pages.

Well, it’s not that sort of permissions. It’s not an error message from my server, it’s from wordpress, telling me I don’t have permission to post, or edit user info, or anything.

No, I never enabled that in the previous version… and I can’t change that now, since I can’t access any of the admin tools.

It’s also not counting comments right, as it says “no comments” for old posts, when they clearly have comments.

Yeah, I did that, I could upgrade just fine. It’s more like my user permissions seem different from what they were before, and I can’t change them. I can log in, I can view my site just fine. But as for actually posting anything… well… I can’t.

Well, I’m still using 1.2.2 (I haven’t had a chance to upgrade). Is it more important that I upgrade to the latest version before fixing this?
