When I click on “Forums” or “Topics” in /wp-admin/ I get this error:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

I have noticed this:

http://my.website.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress (works)

http://my.website.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=edit.php?post_type=forum (doesn’t work and this is the one in admin)

How can I resolve this in my Admin section?

Any help is appreciated.

Isn’t the url you’re looking for (the one that doesn’t work) supposed to be:

http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum

and

http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic

How do I change those links in Admin? That is what I need help with. The links you gave both work from the Admin page.

[AAShepAA]

This is an old thread – but I still have the same problem.

my admin>forums link: http://stratoliner.me/wp-admin/admin.php?page=edit.php?post_type=forum

Throws an error. It should be http://stratoliner.me/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum as varsitysmack mentioned above.

I really need to correct this – how can I change the link?

Thanks

You don’t get to change those links; they are created automatically by WordPress.

What version of WordPress are you using?

[AAShepAA]

The latest version. I always keep everything updated.

[John James Jacoby]

What version of bbPress? And where are these incorrect links located? What plugins other than bbPress are you running?

[AAShepAA]

Latest bbPress also and the broken links are in the left-side maim admin menu. I will need to get home to list plugins..

[AAShepAA]

Thanks John..

I am assuming you are referring to my bbPress plugins?? They are:

bbPress2 BBCode

bbPress Admin Bar Addition (Had to do this to even have access to admin)

bbPress Moderation

bbPress New Topic Notifications

bbPress Post Toolbar

bbPress Quotes

bbP Signatures

Again, I appreciate your help.

[John James Jacoby]

You assumed wrong. That’s okay, because next you need to figure out which plugin isn’t working correctly by deactivating them one at a time and seeing which one stops the bad stuff from happening.

I have a hunch it’s the bbPress Admin Bar Addition one.

Ultimately, you just need to open the hood and start tinkering.

John – I went in and disabled plugins one-by-one to no av avail. Then I made a dumb mistake and deactivated ALL my plugind and now I can’t get back into the site. I had my forums set as the main page ;(

Can I use PHPMyAdmin to reset those or at least bbPress? If so – where?

Thanks again

[AAShepAA]

It was a dumb mistake – but I thought I would post this if anyone is ever in my same spot.

This was very helpful:

However – since I had already turned all my plugins off I was out of luck for backing them up first!

What I did was phpmyadmin into one of my other sites running bbPress and copied its active_topics tab le contents – then pasted into the site that was not working. It was enough to get me back into admin and reactive my plugins.

Question of the day: Is your account actually an admin account?

[AAShepAA]

Understandable question . Yes it is, and most all of the other admin links work fine.
