No changes taking effect anywhere in backend
-
In trying to make any changes to anything (general settings, plugin settings, deactivating plugins, changing themes), when I click to save changes, the page reloads and all of the changes revert back.
The last time I logged in I didn’t have a problem making changes.
When I try to create a new post and save it as a draft, I’m redirected to a page with the message “You are not allowed to edit this post.”
When I attempt to activate another theme, I get the successful “Theme activated” message at the top, but nothing actually changes and the old theme remains active.
When I attempt to deactivate plugins, I get the successful “plugin deactivated” message, but it’s state does not change and the plugin remains active.
I’ve tried renaming the plugins folder. Overwrote all of the core wordpress files with a fresh install. Changed folder permissions to 755 and file permissions to 644. Nothing works.
All of my user accounts are admin, yet it *FEELS* like they don’t have admin rights.
Also, I’m not running any cache plugins
Any ideas?

did you install any plugin lately that will cause the problem as looks there is some thing conflicting.
In database usermeta table user id 1 check what is in wp_capabilities
No, and I renamed the plugins folder to mass-disable all of the plugins. Still didn’t work.
The value for wp_capabilities is:
a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}That looks ok try and clear your browser cookies and then log back in.
I think what may be happening is that you have multiple admin accounts and you must have loged in and corrupted the cookies.
this is happening on 4 different browsers across 4 devices.
no luck…
i’m having the same problem!! have you found a solution? urgh!
Have you renamed all the theme files with exception of Twenty Eleven? If no theme is present – it should default back to that?
My problem is that when I try to create a new post and save it as a draft, I’m redirected to a page with the message “You are not allowed to edit this post.”
Have you seen this post? See the last line…
I’m concerned that by deleting that field it wont do anything but make matters worse. Is it easy to bring that field back if need be?
Make a backup of the database (or just that table) before you make the change.
Deleted the post_category field from the wp_posts table and that didn’t work.
Turn off all your plugins.
Now BEFORE anyone says ‘But I don’t have permissions!’ remember that you can do this outside of WP!
Go in via FTP and rename the plugins folder to plugins-old.
Yeh I turned off all my plugins via FTP before and that didn’t change anything either.
