Problema: quando si tenta di accedere, con utente con privilegi di amministratore, a qualsiasi pagina all’interno nel back-end di in un sito basato su WordPress, si ottiene l’errore Non hai il permesso di accedere a questa pagina (in inglese: Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page).

Soluzione: alcuni plugin difettosi potrebbero aver corrotto l’elenco dei ruoli di WordPress, privando tutti gli utenti del proprio accesso amministrativo. Per verificare il problema, eseguire la seguente query nel database:

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = "wp_user_roles" LIMIT 1

Si dovrebbe ottenere un risultato simile al seguente:

Per ripristinare i ruoli, aggiornare il record del database con i valori opportuni (potrebbero variare in base alla versione di WordPress in uso ed eventuali plugin aggiuntivi installati).
