you don't have sufficient permissions to access this page

    Hello

    When we suddenly had to change host we used the wp al in one migration plugin to export the site.

    Today we tried to put the site back on with our new host. We did a clean install of wordpress and installed the plugin. Imported the site etc. All seemed to work fine and the site was back on (except for the permalinks)

    Now we try to log in to the backend but we keep getting the: you don’t have sufficient permissions to access this page error.

    I tried adding a new user trough phpmyadmin, settings file permissions and checking the wp-options in my database but nothing is working. We can’t do another export from the site since its offline. So all we have is the export file and a backup from the ftp server.

    Is there any know fix to this permissions problem?

    Greetings,
    Merijn

    *Bump* Would there be anyway to fix this?

    I am having the same problem. Can anyone help?

    Happening to me too, but I notice it’s because it doesn’t actually activate the plugin when you tell it to. It just stays in limbo. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled it several times now, and the problem remains the same. There doesn’t seem to be any way to actually activate the plugin.

    When I first installed the plugin, it did add the menu options to the sidebar. Now it won’t even do that much.

    I’ve tried installing it through the WordPress plugin search tool and going directly, and also downloading it from the plugin page and uploading it through the plugins page. Neither makes a difference. Still no way to activate the plugin.

    Here is how I hacked it to work:

    Pim Jitsawang posted a link to an older version of the plugin in this thread:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/latest-version-doesnt-import?replies=6

    I downloaded it from the Dropbox it listed:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/6r8n8b4wvfte32r/all-in-one-wp-migration.2.0.5.zip?dl=0

    I then uploaded that old version of the plugin, and activated it just fine. Once I did, it prompted me to update the plugin to the newest version. When I ran the update, it worked, and allowed me to access the import functions.

    Not certain if a process was hung on my server for the old one, or if there was a cache issue (even though purged at both the browser and server level), but this backdoor way of getting it going seemed to do the trick.
