    Dear WordPress-Team!

    I have a question: Before I post something on my portfolio page, I go on the preview button to take a look how the article/ picture looks like. But then there always comes the sentence: you dont have the right to look at the preview. What is wrong with that? can you tell me what i can do? thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi,
    There could be two possible reasons why your aren’t able to preview your portfolio.
    1) You don’t have the admin/access rights to post or create a portfolio on the site. Are you able to create/preview normal posts or is it just an issue with the portfolio page? If you are the site admin/owner you can safely ignore access rights issue.

    2) Does your theme support Portfolios natively? Some themes are created specifically with portfolio’s in mind and hence they might be able to preview them, while others will just show the portfolio page once the portfolio is totally created. Please try a theme like Illustratr and see if you are able to create portfolios and preview them.You may want to learn more about how portfolios work from the support document here.

    If you are having issues with the previews in general, you may want to enable third party cookies. Please follow instructions from here.

    Let us know how it goes.
