You do not have permission to preview drafts
by Edwin on Feb.12, 2009, under Blogging
Vloek! Before publishing I just wanted to see what it looked like and there I pressed the Preview button. Error message: You do not have permission to preview drafts. (I am using WP 2.7.1 and MySQL 5)
The last change I had made to the system was changing the blog url path, because I wanted the website to say www.notgeeky.com and not notgeeky.com.
Blog Address
The preview mode still prefers the old address though. So by taking away the www. (on the url with the error message) you can still see your preview.
Update:
It looks like it might be something else. Just a couple of minutes I tried to reproduce the problem in Internet Explorer (I normally use FireFox), and everything worked just fine!
So perhaps it’s a browser related issue…
[Update]
Note: sometimes it gives a different error message:
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here. You can search again by using this form…
But the cure (that is temp fix) is still the same.

I have this same problem before. I made the URLs of both wordpress and my blog similar and I can now preview my drafts. Great! Thanks for the idea.

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.

It did not work for me… I have a hard time on this.

Yup, that did the trick… I now have both entries w/o the www and I may see my previews again!
Thanks for pointing this out (I use version 2.7)

I had the same problem and solved it like this:
- wordpress address the same like blog address (no matter with www or without)
- in htaccess file in mail catalog I put:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Since then everything is OK.

This is exactly what I was looking for. This is an interesting perspective. You informed me! Thx.

Thank you so much! I had switched the directory of my home page and found the Preview button no longer working. I didn’t have differing WWWs in my addresses, both were without, but adding them and republishing did the trick. I never would have thought of it.

Sensible scan, good points, a number of which I have learned along the means furthermore (humility, grace, layoff the controversial stuff).

Do you accept guest articles or blog posts? I just like the choice how you wrote You do not have permission to preview drafts | Not Geeky!, I’m in this topic for ages and I would adore to write 2 or 3 stories right here if you ever agree with me.
