    Hi
    i'm unable to change any option of the settings/reading area of my wordpress. I get the
    You don't have permission to access /wordpress/wp-admin/options.php on this server.
    message but only in this section!
    I got all the permissione set right and i can't use any .htaccess. I've seen many problem similar to mine around. Is it a bug or what?

    Thank
    Vitto

    Have you tried:

    - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

    - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    * So, you can definitely access other "options" pages in the admin (e.g. permalinks, discussion, etc.)?

    * What is your user role? Admin?

    * Have you used any type of role, capability, or access plugin?

    hi guys
    @ esmi:
    i have no activated plugin;
    i switched to the default theme (i'm using a gallery' theme by the way) = no results;
    @ greensahdy:
    i can access all the other options but reading;
    i'm the only user and got admin role..

    I know it sounds very weird..but i got no other clues.
    I read about the use of the htaccess and as i said i can't use it. I there any other way for that?

    Is this a new install? Or did you upgrade recently?
