# Installed WordPress via Simple Scripts and cannot post

 * Hi,
 * I recently installed WordPress via Simple Scripts, and when I try to add a new
   post to my blog the usual “post” button says “submit for review”. When I hit 
   submit for review I get an error message saying that I am not allowed to edit
   this post.
 * I can access most other things, like I am able to change the theme, install plugins
   etc. I’m the only user on the account and I’m sure that I’m the administrator.
 * Is there anything that I did wrong with the install or is something wrong with
   my account?

 * My guess is that it’s a faulty install. Try un-installing WordPress, emptying
   the database and then [re-installing WordPress manually](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress).

 * Nice! I uninstalled and emptied the database, then re-installed wordpress again.
   Everything is good now, I can post and add pages properly.
 * Thank you again esmi!

 * No problem. I never really trust 1-click installers. 🙂

 * Oh no, it has happened again!
 * I have figured out that the problem is being caused when I import my old wordpress.
   com blog to my hosted wordpress blog. I suspect it is changing the authorization
   for posting as it is detecting my old posts as a different user – and it changes
   the ‘submit button’ to the ‘submit for review button’ after I have completed 
   the import.
 * Is there any way of overcoming this problem?
