As you may have noticed this block can be reached via two URLs. In the options panel Wordpress wants to know where it lives (Option_ WordPress Address_) and how it can be reached by regular visitors (Option Site Address). I have set up everything correctly but faced one problem when I tried to preview posts. It always gave me the error "You do not have permission to preview drafts." This happens because we log on to the admin panel via the _Wordpress Adress URL _but when you click the "Preview" button in the editor you will be redirected to the URL defined in the _Site Address _Option. You are not logged in on this site so I think this is the origin of this error. The problem can be fixed quick and dirty by editing the "post.php" file in your "wp-admin" directory. Just find the following lines:
case 'preview':
check_admin_referer( 'autosave', 'autosavenonce' );
$url = post_preview();
wp_redirect($url);
exit();
break;
Now add one more line which replaces the url you will be redirected to.
Read the comment!
case 'preview':
check_admin_referer( 'autosave', 'autosavenonce' );
$url = post_preview();
//add this line and replace SITE_ADDRESS and WORDPRESS_ADRESS with the right values for your setup
$url = str_replace(SITE_ADDRESS, WORDPRESS_ADDRESS, $url);
wp_redirect($url);
exit();
break;
For example the _Site Address _for this blog is "blog.bastelhalde.de" and the _Wordpress Adress _is "helios.wh2.tu-dresden.de/~benni_koch/blog".
Please keep in mind that whenever the post.php file is updated you have to redo the changes! This is no permanent solution but a quick way to preview your posts again. Also please remind that this error can have other causes than a wrong redirection. But if your Wordpress Adress differs from your Site Adress it is very likely that you are affected by this because of it.
