Hello,

I having a problem adding a options page for my plugin under the setting tab but when i try to access that page I get the error

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”

After searching online I found multiple threads with the same problem but nothing seem to work.

Below is the plugin code

Code:

add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘ChapterDisplay_admin_actions’);

function ChapterDisplay_admin_actions()
{
add_options_page("Chapter Display", "Chapter Display", "manage_options", "Chapter Display", "ChapterDisplay_Admin");
}

function ChapterDisplay_Admin()
{
if ( !current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) )
{
wp_die( __( ‘NO ACCESS.’ ) );
}

include(‘ChapterDisplayAdmin.php’);
}

When we click on the “Chapter Display” link in the settings menu – get the above error shows.

Thanks
Chad

Hi Chad. On the fourth line of the code there are a lot of “"”s. Are these in the original code, or did they just get messed up when you pasted the code?

Andy,
I was using double quotes … I did change them to single and still getting that error. Thanks for catching that

Code:

add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘ChapterDisplay_admin_actions’);

function ChapterDisplay_admin_actions()
{
add_options_page(‘Chapter Display’, ‘Chapter Display’, ‘manage_options’, ‘Chapter Display’, ‘ChapterDisplay_Admin’);
}

function ChapterDisplay_Admin()
{
if ( !current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) )
{
wp_die( __( ‘NO ACCESS.’ ) );
}

include(‘ChapterDisplayAdmin.php’);
}

It’s not even getting to my wp_die function. It still displays “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

@Chad–

The 4th parameter in add_options_page needs to be a slug. You currently have it as a phrase. Try replacing with this:

add_options_page('Chapter Display', 'Chapter Display', 'manage_options', 'chapter-display.php', 'ChapterDisplay_Admin');


Also, since you have already set the capability for this page to manage_options when you registered it with add_options_page, you don’t need your wp_die statement.

@Steve

That was it.. Thanks
