 * i am getting this when i try to add a date to the widget on my site.
    [http://HoneyTrek.com](http://HoneyTrek.com)
 * You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
 * i get that from the plugin page where i am going to add a new date. then i click
   save changes all the way at the bottom of the page.
 * thanks.

 * the timer actually updates, but it takes me to a white page with the words “You
   do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” no wordpress header 
   or footer. then the changes i made update on the site, so not a huge deal i guess.
   thanks for replying!

 * I believe this is not an issue related to the plugin, but an issue related to
   your WordPress installation. I did a quick Google search and saw that it might
   be related to a file or folder permissions issue, or it could be the result of
   an WordPress upgrade that had a problem.

 * hmmmm. how do i look into this? no idea what folder might not have permissions,
   etc. think it is a big deal if this pluggin is working? or might be the cause
   of a few other issues i am seeing as well?

 * I would start here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
 * It could be a potential security issue, so it’s worth looking into.

 * fergbrain, thanks for that link, but that stuff is above me, i have changed permissions
   before in my FTP client, but in this instance i have no idea what files to change
   and what might be a “security issue”.
 * thanks if you can let me know a few files to check and what to make sure they
   are set at. but if you cant i understand.
