I have been getting the following error because I changed the database table prefix

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

The cause of the problem is that you have changed the database prefixes but still, some of the word press config is tied down to the previous prefix (wp_ or something)

Just execute the following two queries

-- Replace 'prefix_' with your actual prefix
UPDATE `prefix_usermeta` SET `meta_key` = REPLACE( `meta_key` , 'wp_', 'prefix_' );

-- Replace 'prefix_' with your actual prefix
UPDATE `prefix_options` SET `option_name` = 'prefix_user_roles' WHERE `option_name` ='wp_user_roles' AND `blog_id` =0;

The first day I applied the theme that was on this blog most (almost all) of 2009, I knew I had to change it someday because it was too heavy. The only reason I liked that theme was how it differentiated between two posts on the homepage.

Anyway, I have been spending quiet some time during the last few days to update my blog and use widgets (for the first time on WordPress platform ) etc and I hope I have chosen a nice alternative to my previous theme, although I am pretty sure that some of you will still think its almost the same as the previous one but its not.

Many of you might be aware of this for months, like me, about the issues with WordPress‘s upgrade automatically feature. It fails sometimes and then it starts working perfect sometimes, its an annoying little bit*h.

I tried googling to no success and I still do not know whats going on. Does anyone else face the same issue? what is the fix, if any? HELP!

Just found out this morning that WordPress has released 2.9 so I click-updated my blog to the latest version. Thank you WordPress for the one-click-update feature

I discovered a BUG in WordPress Version 2.5.1, the forgot password sends you an email with the “key” that is supposed to generate a new email but the “key” itself contains characters like “&” which appends to the URL like query string and wordpress gives an error that the “key” is invalid.

I missed the preview of WordPress 2.5 and just updated to latest version. I must add, its really cool, especially the new admin interface and admin dashboard.
