Users cannot create posts

    I recently upgraded my WordPress installation to 3.0. Upon doing so, when a user goes to create a new post, the button which normally reads “Publish” now reads “Submit for Review”. Upon clicking that button or the “Save Draft” button, the screen displays the message “You are not allowed to edit this post. “

    When I try this as admin, the button also reads “Submit for Review”. However, when I click it, the post is published. When I click “Save Draft” as admin, I am taken to the posts page but the post I tried to save as a draft is not present and no error message is given. How can I fix this?

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?

    – increasing the available memory?

    Hi esmi,

    Thanks for your reply. I had not yet tried those things because we have three web servers that run WordPress. All are set up identically. I was able to install WordPress 3.0 with no difficulties on our development server. I will give those things a try and see what happens.

    I tried all of those items listed and the problem remains.

    If this is specific to just 1 upgraded install, then it could be that there was a problem when the database was upgraded – possibly in the wp_usermeta table. Do you have a pre-upgrade database backup?

    I do. I compared the two wp_usermeta tables and the only difference was a user that was in one database and not the other. There were a few more in the wp_options tables (about 60ish) but none jumped out at me. Is there something I should be looking for?

    Does anybody have any ideas? This is kind of a big deal.

    Any updates to this? I’m having the same issue.
