  For the first time at WP I’ve just updated the text of a post published yesterday, but before clicking the Update button to publish the revision, I clicked to Preview button to be told: “You do not have permission to preview drafts.” Never happened before.

  Bit of a nuisance. Can the permission be reinstated please?

  It sounds like you are not logged in as the Admin of the blog. You need to login using the Admin username account login.

  An Editor or Admin should be able to edit any Post or Page – Admin not required

  What browser and version are you using?

  I got the same message yesterday and I’m the admin of my site. I signed out…then back in…got it to work. But, today I’m having the same issue and signing out then back in didn’t fix the issue.

  Well I am the creator and only user of my blog so presumably that makes me the admin.
