Admins unable to access wp-admin dashboard

    I have had this strange issue on two different sites now, where after installing BBPress, admin accounts are unable to access wp-admin directly. I can get to the sub-pages just fine such as themes, menus, etc, but when I try to go to the main wp-admin page, it tells me “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

    When I click the “Dashboard” link from the admin, it redirects me to the Updates page.

    And, interestingly, when I deactivate BBPress, the Dashboard menu item in the admin disappears entirely!

    Clearly something must have gotten corrupted somewhere. Anybody have a fix?

    Never mind I just fixed it. In case anybody else experiences this problem, here is what I did:
    (back up database first)
    1) deactivate BBPress
    2) install User Role Editor
    3) Click the red Reset button which will reset all roles to WP defaults
    4) Re-activate BBPress.

    What do you do in user role editor? I follow what you said but it doesn’t work.

    Install the plugin called “User Role Editor”. Open its functionality under Users > User Role Editor. Now click the button with the red text that says “Reset”.

    Thanks, @etallewyn. It works for me as well.

    Cheers!
