Tag: Can’t preview posts
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.
