WordPress migrate sufficient permissions error

1 Views

I have a strange problem, that I have never encountered.

I migrated web-site from my PC to the server. Well, I have done this a lot of times, but never encountered this issue.

Ok, what I did is, i copied the theme and exported the database and imported on the server + I replaced the table prefixes from wp_ to site_ to match the servers pre-made WordPress installation prefixes.

The page works fine, but, when I log in as an administrator ( there are no other users, then the admin ) I get this error:

And when I open the actual page I see this:

The white line one the top is where the admin menu should be.

It seems, that the user has actually logged in, but somehow is getting rejected from the server?

I know that this is a small isue that can be solved, by reinstalling WordPress with the exact settings that I have on my local PC, but I want to know why this happened and how to actually fix it.

PS: There are no addons involved in this. Just my custom theme.

  1. It looks like you’re being logged in, but your account doesn’t have administrator privileges. Go to your site_usermeta table in the database and confirm that the meta_key and meta_value are using the correct prefix. They should be site_capabilities, site_user_level etc instead of wp_capabilities and wp_user_level etc. Also make sure that site_capabilities is set to administrator.

    Additionally, check the site_options table to see if there are any option_names that are still using wp_ and not site_ Essentially, if you changed the prefix in the config file, you will need to change all entries of the prefix in your MySQL database as well.
