Google Appengine 1.9.3/4 and WordPress 3.9 Admin User not Fully Functional on Localhost

I am getting several errors at different moments when using my local copy of wordpress on appengine.

It happens when clicking on “Posts”, which shows error “Invalid post type“, or when trying to create a new post, there is no save box/button.

It also happens when trying to change options in one of my themes in other places with plugins.

I get a lot of “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

For the most part, the back-end is functional, the front-end is fully functional.

I am using appengine 1.9.3 and wordpress 3.9, python 2.7.6.

I have uninstalled 1.9.3 and updated to 1.9.4, I have also accepted WordPress’ request to install 3.9.1, the problem persists.

I have installed the 1.9.3, 3.9, 2.7.6 configuration on a different machine where app engine was never installed before and the same problem occurs.

I had appengine 1.9.0 and 1.9.3 working with WordPress 3.8.1.

The problem started a few days ago after a number of upgrades (from 1.9.3 to 1.9.4, and into wordpress 3.9.1).

Could this be related to additional layer on WPDB added in 3.9? http://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/04/07/mysql-in-wordpress-3-9/

Questions:

  1. Anybody else experiencing similar behavior?
  2. Will this propagate to google cloud if I update the version with launcher?
  3. How do I solve this on my local copy?

Please, help!

  1. This has something to do with the fact that Windows uses backslashes (“”) instead of forward slashes (“/”) for its directory structure.

    Try adding this in your wp-config.php just before require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’); for a quick fix.

    $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = str_replace('', '/', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
