The “read” capability that is required to access the “Dashboard” menu item?

  • Hi all,

    Being logged in as (Super) Admin, going to the admin section, I end up with
    "The current user doesn't have the "read" capability that is required to access the "Dashboard" menu item."

    Before that I had the Triagis plugin alter the prefix in the database, what flunked. I repaired everything in the database (IMHO), but ended up withe the error above.

    wp_capabilities is set to a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}. I removed all plugins, but no luck.

    Any help is welcome!

    Regards,
    Paul

  • I am having the same problem.
    It occured after changing the table-prefix.

    Have you fixed this? If so, please share how you did it.

    I solved it myself.

    The problem is that the wp_capabilites and wp_user_level columns in the [prefix]_usermeta table is using the table prefix aswell (probably for some security reasons).

    After changing the table prefix, one needs to also change the prefix of these two columns, as well as wp_user_roles in the [prefix]_options table.

    There are also other columns using the prefix, but I gained access after changing only these three.
