Wordpress error “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” from http-https

Question

I am using wordpress 4.1 and I changed from http to https, then when I tried to login I am getting an error that

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

So could any one help me how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

I have this issue too,

backup your .htaccess file, and use this

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

then, in wp-config remove the https back to http

define('WP_HOME','http://www.example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.example.com');

---

this should get you back to the dashboard, and you can start working on it again.
