Preview post not working – "You do not have permission to preview drafts."

  • I’ve installed WordPress this weekend and had it running fairly quickly.

    It’s installed in a subdirectory. When writing a post and pressing the preview button I get the message that the post can not be found. When updating an existing post I get the message “You do not have permission to preview drafts.”. I’m logged in with the admin user. I’m not sure but feel like it might have something to do with the subdirectory installation, but have not been able to solve it. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    As the site is live I can’t do those things. Haven’t got that many plugins installed (only the basic ones like askimet and wordpress importer and one which I used to cache all imagery). I have the feeling it might have something to do with my WordPress site url and Site URL, one has the ip adress of the server, the other one the actual address and that that’s the thing which might cause issues.
