In the end, I found that it was restoring the database directly through SQL that caused the problem. In fact, it was the restoring of the posts table through phpMyadmin that seemed the break the ability to edit/add posts and users. The solution (for me) was to restore the database to a temporary site then take a WordPress backup of everything. Then on the real site I installed WordPress, deleted the records (via phpMyadmin) from everything except Options and Users and restored the backup through WordPress. Then I restored (through phpMyadmin) the links table.

It meant I had to work to get everything back as it was (i.e. the Widgets and the layout) but, at least, I have all the posts back and can now do full editing, etc.

Good luck.

This has happened to me too.

I checked the user meta and it is correctly set to a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

Please can someone help?

I see it’s installed now. Can you tell me how you fixed it as I am having the same problem? If I need to go back to my ISP I’d like to be able to tell them what I want them to do.

Many thanks

Ummm. Not to be funny, but that’s the thing I’m talking about. Clicking on sign out does precisely nothing. I’m still logged in. No errors, just a refresh of the dashboard.

Closing down the window and going back to the login screen – takes me, not to the login screen, but directly into the dashboard. I realise that’s the cookie, but it obviously isn’t logging me out at all. So I cleared all cokkies. Went to the login screen. Logged in again and, lo and behold, cannot logout again.

Very strange. Now of my other wordpress sites have ever had this problem. And I have been onto others today, logging in and out normally. This site has just been moved to a new host and I guess it will be a setting somewhere. But I haven’t a clue where to look.

Try this link. It worked for me.

Thank you for this link. It seems to work perfectly now. (I’m using 2.0).
