    I am getting an error saying I can not edit posts on my site. I have never had an issue before. I am administrator, and it allows me to change everything, except to post to my blog. I am not permitted to post to my blog and I get an error saying: “You are not allowed to edit this post” . As admin, I should be able to edit all posts, let alone new ones I have written? What’s up with that? Thank you, Gerard

    First make sure you have administrative role:

    Then try:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Also, any op cache or content network cache, as well as Cloudflare, clear those caches.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Hi Khipuz,

    Do you have any plugins activated that change user settings?

    Hey Tara! Your an Angel,,Thank you, I deactivated all plugins, and then when through and discovered that a Events plugin by Time.ly was causing the peoblem! I iwsh I had had that advice a while back when I had issues with Sweetcaptcha,..It really messed up my site and I thought I had been hacked, I hired a security firm named SUCURI, and paid a 300.00 a year fee for protection to learn it was that stupid plugin.I understand it has now been removed from the plugin pages, but if anyone ever has issues, this is a good thing to do,,Thanks again, Gerard
