    Make sure you have administrator privileges.

 * Hi Rajesh, Thanks for a speedy response.
 * I’ve tried that many time but no luck. I have all the admin privileges. What 
   other options do I have?

 * I had the same issue. Through the advice of another, I first refreshed my admin.
   privileges, then logged out and logged back in. Seemed to work to get rid of 
   the cheating message, and allowed me to customise and preview the theme. Phew!
