    After following all of the steps laid out in trouble logging in page, I am still receiving the following error when attempting to log into my WordPress install:

    You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

    I even tried giving my dummy account I use for front-end testing admin privileges, but it was met with the same message.

    I do get logged in, and I can view the site, get the toolbar, etc. But I am unable to access the dashboard.

    I also should mention I have the following plugins installed…

    addthis, adsense-widge,t akismet, bbpress, better-wp-security, buddypress, funcaptcha, global-admin-bar-hide-or-remove, hotfix, lightbox-plus, s2member, simple-trackback-validation, tinymce-advanced, twitter-widget-pro, use-google-libraries.

    I had been messing around with bbpress, buddypress, and s2member about an hour before the problem started.

    I also deleted the wp-admin folder and re-uploaded. Cleared cache and cookies. Still the same problem.

    I can access the dashboard if I go to a blog post and click edit. I can navigate most of the cpanel, but inside plugins if I click on a tab for settings I get the error. If I try to visit the wordpress update page I get the error.

    I’ve checked the file/folder permissions and they all seem fine.

    I also replaced the wp-includes directory. Still no help.

    EDIT:

    Using the “new post” option I was able to uninstall all of the plugins and re-installed WP using the WP update page. I can now access just about everything in the admin, but the Toolbar is useless and login still goes to “You don’t have permissions.”

    I deleted the entire install. All that remains from the previous install is the database. I am still getting the same error.

    After going entry by entry in the database I found that in the “wp_user_roles” something got messed up. I copied a list found on this website of the default roles and it instantly started working.

    Hope this helps.
