I have used word-press before and not experianced this problem. I just moved my site to a new server, and I am setting up a word-press blog. I try to delete the first 'hello world' post, I dont have permision. I try to delete the comment, I don't have permision. I try to add a new catagory...yup, I don't have permision. Please help me understand what I need to do to fix this. I know how to change permisions of a file, I just don't know which ones to change. Thank you in advance for your help!
Hey there . . look .. first . .try CHMODing all the files to 777. If it doesnt work, then.. I can help you out in a bit.. if you want only .. PM me your WP account admin user and pass and the URL to your /wp-admin/ I will login and check things out. If its some external problem ( CHMOD or server side ) i will need ftp,sql infos but I will understand if you want to keep those private
Did you *move* the WP blog? Or is this a fresh installation? Are you logged in as the admin user when you try to delete the post/create a category? Can you post the output of ls -laR in your WP directory? (btw, chmod-ing everything to 777 is a *bad, bad* idea, especially if this is on a shared host.)
It is a fresh install, the site was moved. Most of the site is static pages, and one section is wp. Yes I don't know what this means...
Apologies if I was not clear. What I meant was drop to a shell and issue the command $ ls -laR Code (markup): and either PM me the output or post it. This will show the permissions on the files in your wordpress directory and subdirectories, and if the fault is a file permissions issue we can let you know which to alter. Cheers,
