    Hello!

    I currently run a WordPress website which recently started to bug me. I am the only admin on the page and I suddenly cannot add a product, page or anything for that matter. Instead of the publish button there is a “send for review” or something button. Even if I hit that button it says I do not have the rights to do it.

    I have tried:
    – adding a new administrator but it has the same effect
    – disabled ALL plugins and tried again = nothing

    Please help me!!!

    Using Phpmyadmin (or another MySQL management tool), first backup your database. Then navigate to your wp_usermeta table and locate the meta_key called “wp_capabilities” for your user_id. Change the meta-value for this record to:

    a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}

    Why are you using an old copy of WordPress? Were you aware that your site is currently running a very real risk of being hacked? You need to upgrade WordPress asap.

    So I changed the wp_capabilities to:

    a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}

    And it still says “Send to publisher”

    I have tried the following:
    -update to 3.7.1
    -checked for auto_increment failures (there were none)
    -created new admin
    -checked if I have exceeded my storage limit on my hosting (I did not exceed the limit)

    And it still won’t allow me to add products.

    Also tried:
    -repairing the database (via WordPress)
    -repairing the database (via phpmyadmin)

    Still no success…

    Do you have a backup of your site/database from before this started happening?

    Have you tried deactivating ALL plugins and switched to the default theme?

    I have tried and deactivated all plugins via WordPress and phpmyadmin. Switching to default theme did not solve the problem either.

    I believe I have a backup stored somewhere on the http://ftp.. I’m just going to recreate the page and import all the data.
