You do not have sufficient permission…

“You do not have sufficient permission to access this page” and my admin login capability is gone and my dashboard capability is gone.

I get this message with ANY membership plugin I have tried.

Apparently there is some sort of a conflict.

Here are the other plugins I have activated:
AdRotate, bbPress, bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab, BuddyPress, Websimon Tables, and YITH Maintenance Mode.

Please help! I will NOT purchase any of these membership plugins if they keep doing this! It’s frustrating.

Thank you for reporting this important issue.

And thank you for your patience over the weekend.

I’m assuming that you know how to fix the capabilities issue because you’ve dealt with this before. I can’t say what might be causing this, I know that I have seen Users of s2Member use all but Websimon Tables, and YITH Maintenance without issue in the past, but I don’t recognize these two plugins.

s2Member shouldn’t mess with the Administrator role’s capabilities like this. Is there any pattern to when/how this happens, or does it happen sporadically?

I am not a dev by any means. I depend entirely on strong solid products (plugins) being developed by others. I certainly do not have knowledge on how to fix any ‘capabilities issues’ (I don’t even know what that means). I talked with the support team at my hosting service and they looked at the error log. The membership plugins (whether it be s2member or another brand) are NOT playing well with BuddyPress & bbPress. Initially, it appears to be the theme that causes the issue, but regardless of what theme is being used the same error occurs. It doesn’t matter which member plugin I select or which theme (believe me, I have tried several combinations) When I spoke with my hosting company folks, they said, “Its a database error. plugin was mixing with the database causing this.” I have come to the conclusion that I CANNOT use s2member with BuddyPress & bbPress because of this. So, I have a choice – membership site or forum – but not both. While I am disappointed, I will select the forum over the membership.

I will give you the full spectrum of plugins and themes I am using if you wish to test this for yourself (because I’d sure love to see this all work smoothly and seemlessly in the future):

Themes:
MesoColumn (http://www.dezzain.com/)
WP Opulus (http://www.nimbusthemes.com/)
BuddyPress Default

Plugins:
AdRotate

Sorry about the confusion here. What I meant to say was that I’m assuming that you’ve already been able to log back in, because you mentioned you had this problem in the past. As in, you do not need assistance in getting your Capabilities/Roles back on track. That is correct?

The membership plugins (whether it be s2member or another brand) are NOT playing well with BuddyPress & bbPress.

I’m not sure why this would be. I am currently running a development environment running all three of these plugins and I am not having this issue. It sound to me like maybe the row in your database that handles your roles is being wiped because of so many plugins adding/removing roles? I know bbPress adds specific capabilities to certain Roles, and s2Member adds the s2Member User Levels + bbPress Capabilities to these Roles if you have bbPress installed when you activate s2Member. Do you have the exact wording that your hosting provider gave you?

Thanks. Though, you said that you tried disabling all plugins but s2Member, BuddyPress and bbPress and this still happened?
