Can you access the Users section of your Dashboard? Do you see Administrator listed next to your username?
Thank you, James. Certainly! I am the only person to access the site and I am registered as an administrator. The only new action, prior to this fact, it was installing WP 4.4.1
Ok, that’s odd.
Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Sixteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
I’ve done that, James.
Before sending my request, I looked for similar problems in the forum.
I found these tips and deactivated each of the plugins and nothing. I activated one by one and nothing.
I moved to the Twenty Sixteen and anything happens. I moved to an earlier theme and nothing!
Can I give a reset? Start all over again? My site is still new and can start over without major problems!
Thank you for your attention!
One more thing to try first:
If you are not using Multisite, access your database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), go to the wp_users table and find the row for your user_login . Note the ID of this row. Now, go to the wp_usermeta table and find the wp_capabilities row for your user_id . Set the value of this row to:
a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}
If that doesn’t work, and you’re ok with losing everything, then a complete do-over may be necessary.
Hello James, unfortunately it did not work! Can you guide this beginning user to do the do-over? Thanks.
Basically, just delete the files and database, then reinstall WordPress.
You’re ok with losing everything that’s there now, right?
I did it, James!
Although I have to work twice is better than to be wasting time to find out the mistake.
I hope that does not happen when the site is ready.
Thanks for attention!
Hi Valterz,
Have you changed some configurations about the permalinks?
If you did, you problem may be the rewrite mod..
How is your link configuration ?
