Top level admin: Do not have sufficient permissions?

Postby alioto » September 16th, 2011, 10:59 pm

Hello,

Just installed WP 3.2.1 and a few plugins... have used Quick Cache in the past on other installs (great, love it!) without issue... but on this one, I can activate it, but clicking 'settings' results in 'You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page'. Everything else on the site works fine (all plugins, etc.), and I am definitely logged in with the top level admin account.

What might be causing this error??? This is the first time I've experienced this message in regards to plugin access from the top level admin account.

Thank you for any thoughts...

Ok, figured it out...

after adding: define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true); to my wp-config.php, the Quick Cache settings can no longer be accessed. I just started using Ultimate Security Checker which recommended this setting (which makes sense since I edit my files via sftp, not through wp), but had not applied this to my previous blogs - so didn't run into the problem before.

Apparently the file edit feature needs to remain active if you want to use quick cache. Not sure how real the security risk is to leave this active, but since I have other protections in place, I guess I won't be too worried about it.

You're a genius! I've just spent several hours mucking around with my database, changing, creating, recreating admin usernames.... I even disabled Better WordPress Security. I never thought disallowing backend file edits would knockout Quick Cache. Thank you for posting your solution.
