Administrator can’t view Draft posts

  • Hello – I can’t view any draft posts or pages. I’ve tried the following suggestions all with no luck:
    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem?
    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin?

    after deactivating all plugins, clearing my cache/cookies, restarting computer even i still can’t view drafts.

    i’ve tried using the default(2010) theme and i can’t view drafts
    did the reset plugin folder via phpMyAdmin. Nothing.

    also, a potential related issue. when i access mysite/wp-admin and log in, i get redirected to the login page rather than my dashboard. at that point i just type mysite/wp-admin into the url box and i go to the dashboard. weird. not sure why this is happening now…

    any ideas?

  • Have you tried:

    – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?

    – increasing the available memory?

    The login issue sounds like some sort of server redirect problem and it could well be the root cause of the Drafts issue as well. Do you have any .htaccess files in your WP folder or in root?

    thanks esmi – i’ve seen that you’ve responded to similar questions in the forum.

    yes, i’ve tried all of the/your suggestions prior to posting this question.

    i do have an .htaccess file in my root.

    What’s in that .htaccess file?

    contents:

    # Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

# compress the files
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/x-javascript
# removes some bugs
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
Header append Vary User-Agent

    Try cutting it back to just:

    # Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Nope. That didn’t do it either.

    any idea if there’s some standard info that i(administrator) should have in ‘wp_capabilities’ in the wp_usermeta table?

    changed the contents of my wp_capabilities to
    a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}
    still can’t preview drafts.

    I don’t think that this is a db issue. I think it could be a server redirection problem.

    Did you found a solution? I have the same problem here.
