Cannot access widgets – permissions error after upgrade to 2.8.3

  • I just upgraded from 2.6 to 2.8.3. Everything is working fine, except that I cannot access the widgets page. It tells me:

    “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

    And the URL it is trying to access is:

    “https://www.fontcraft.com/fontcraft/wp-admin/themes.php?page=widgets.php”

    I’ve checked the permissions on those files on the server, turned off all my plugins and even tried a different theme and nothing works. I’ve also looked at the files in the database with phpmyadmin and the problem others have mentioned about an incorrect prefix does not seem to apply.

    No access to widgets is not a good thing since a lot of the structure of my site is based on the widgets and they need to be updated periodically.

    Can anyone help?

  • I have a similar problem. Suddenly, I cannot access the widgets.php admin control panel. I just get a blank screen!

    Please, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Thanks!
