The ramblings of an inquisitive idiot

I have had to help several of my friends with their blogs with the new upgrade to 2.7.1 When trying to update the wordpress blog we were running into the error message, “You Do Not Have Sufficent Permissions To Access This Page” I was certain that it was something within the MySql database but where was a big unknown. Finally after lots of searching and a thorough web search by my friend Shirley of Sweet Resistance we located the “fix” for this problem. What I had to do was rather simple once we located the location of the problem. To fix it I went to phpMyAdmin,
Select your database for your blog.
Find wp_options (assuming your database uses wp as a prefix)
Pick wp_users_roles with the edit icon (pencil)
Replace the text with the following

Save your work and you should now be able to simply use the auto update process which takes only a few moments
I hope this helps you out. If you need anything else let me know and I will try to help you out.
