🔧 Common Causes & Fixes

1. Not Logged In or Session Expired

  • Fix: Log out and log back in.

  • If you’re using a browser session from a while ago, the session may have expired.

2. User Role Permissions Issue

  • You might be logged in, but your user role (e.g., Editor, Author) lacks access.

  • Fix:

    • Login as an Administrator.

    • Go to Users > All Users and verify your role.

    • Use a plugin like User Role Editor to manage roles and capabilities if needed.

3. Plugin Conflict

  • Some plugins can interfere with user permissions or admin access.

  • Fix:

    • Temporarily disable plugins via:

      • Dashboard: Go to Plugins and deactivate all.

      • FTP/File Manager: Rename the wp-content/plugins folder to something like plugins-disabled.

    • Then try logging in again.

4. Incorrect URL Access

  • Sometimes you’re trying to visit a page (like wp-admin/options.php) without sufficient rights.

  • Fix: Stick to pages appropriate to your role or access.

5. Security Plugin Blocking You

  • Security plugins like Wordfence, iThemes Security, or similar may restrict access.

  • Fix: Check the plugin settings or temporarily disable it via FTP.

6. Corrupted .htaccess or File Permissions

  • Fix:

    • Regenerate .htaccess: Go to Settings > Permalinks and click “Save Changes.”

    • Set file permissions:

      • wp-content folders: 755

      • files: 644

7. Theme Conflict

  • A poorly coded theme might interfere with admin access.

  • Fix:

    • Switch to a default theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four) via Appearance > Themes.

8. Manually Add Admin Access (if locked out)

If you’re locked out, use phpMyAdmin to:

  • Open your wp_users table → confirm your user exists.

  • Go to wp_usermeta table:

    • Ensure your user ID has:

      • meta_key: wp_capabilities → a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

      • meta_key: wp_user_level → 10
