WP Post Signature error: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page

I recently installed the WP Post Signature wordpress plugin so that a custom signature could be included in each of my posts. After installation from the Plugins -> Add New page, I clicked on the ‘Settings’ link from that same page and got the error: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”.

What good is a signature plugin if you can’t edit it or turn it on?! I googled the issue and many people said that it was the developer’s fault for messing up the security requirements on their plugin.

THEN I figured it out! Don’t click the Settings link from within the plugin installation page, instead click the ‘Settings’ side menu and there will be a WP Post Signature item in there. It is from this area where you can customize and enable the plugin.

Hope that helps!

    Thank you. I was having the same problem with a different plugin. After a couple of hours googling (and getting lots of complicated, conflicting advice), I stumbled on your post here. And your simple answer which worked. Again, thank you.

    Hi, I am from Germany and have problems with this plugin, too. I installed it, activated it, went to settings, filled out the form (signature) and saved it, but nothing appears under my postings. No signature. I don´t find the mistake. I googled for hours now…I cannot solve the problem. 🙁
    What do I wrong?

    Best wishes

      Hi Trixie – I wish I was an expert in this plugin but I am not. If the advice in this blog post doesn’t help you out, try contacting the author of the plugin.
