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.
