I just upgraded our old 4.3.5 forums – moving through 4.5.1 to 5.4.1 today. Environment as follows:
PHP
Version: 5.4.34
Memory: 256M
Max Upload: 64M
Timeout: 300
MySQL
Version: 5.5.40
Prefix: wp_
Server
Version: Apache
WP Plugins
Akismet (3.0.3)
Email Users (4.6.10)
Fast Secure Contact Form (4.0.30)
Google XML Sitemaps (4.0.7.1)
ManageWP – Worker (3.9.30)
Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu (3.6.9)
Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin (5.0.6)
Simple:Press (5.4.1)
TimThumb Vulnerability Scanner (1.53)
WordPress Database Backup (2.2.4)
It is a pretty simple setup – 2 groups – 14 forums – members have read only access – no moderators and a couple of admins.

(page password Income)
After the upgrade I cannot access any of the forums as an admin – I get the:
“Access denied – you do not have permission to view this page”
I tried going out and creating a new user – went through sign up fine but got the same error when trying to access any of the forums.
I then deleted all permission sets and then reset global permissions for guests and members – but still no luck.
I’ve got about 900 members – I can see them in the member user group – I can see that they have read only access to each forum – but have no access.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Andrew
