wordpress You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

Answer 1

You don't have registered stats page in admin_pages.

Solution

Adjust your code in includes/whatefty-stat-display.php to something like this:

<?php 
if( isset( $_POST['wathefty_submit'] ) ) {
  include( dirname(__FILE__) . '/stats.php' );
}
?>

<form method="post" >
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend class="legend">Search</legend>
<label class="label">Search by author name:</label>
<input class="input" type="text" name="click" />
<button class="button1" name="wathefty_submit" type="submit">Submit</button>
</fieldset>
</form>

The main changes are in:

• removing action attribute from <form>
• including results (stats) page in same php file, in case there is $_POST['wathefty_submit'] set

Note that name attribute of submit button was changed.

Optionally, you could enclose the form in else branch, so the form wouldn't be displayed on stats page.

Alternative Solution

Alternative solution could be adding another menu page with add_menu_page function and including the second file there, but it doesn't seems to me right to have one menu page registered for form and other for results.

Answer 2

look at the values in the wp_usermeta table as follows:

wp_capabilities should be a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}

wp_user_level should be 10

it will fixed the problem if wont could you please give the link which you used to open your plugin panel >
