Hi

One possibility is that your temp domain has the tilde symbol in it. The tilde symbol is read by a number of php scripts as code rather then as part of the url. I believe this could be what is occurring here. We have not had a prior report of this with background images but very few users have the tilde symbol on temp domains as it is now fairly widely known in the wp community that wp and tilde don't get along.

Another possibility is that we have run into a roles issue. It should not be the case as this is the sole report of this with backgrounds that i recall. But the error can even occur on rare occasions when one has admin permissions on an ad hoc basis. It is an error in the wp core.

One thing you can do is reinstall Striking by ftp. Which would only take a few minutes. As you might have some old Striking file that predates 5.1.8.3 that is remnant that is causing the issue. And pls advise if you are using a child theme.

The final option is a hardcode mod to the theme as follows:

Open the WordPress install via FTP and open wp-admin/options.php file. Find this code in it,

if ( !current_user_can('edit_posts') )
wp_die(__('Cheatin’ uh?'))

Replace it with this code:

if ( !current_user_can('edit_posts') )
// wp_die(__('Cheatin’ uh?'))

Please let us know if one of the above resolves your situation.

Hi James;

Replacing all Striking theme files via FTP resolved the issue.

Im not using the child theme and have only ever experienced this error previously with user roles.

Many Thanks

HI

Glad to hear it. That leads me to believe you might not have had a full update in your first attempt.

IF YOU GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WHEN TRYING TO UPLOAD AN IMAGE, a background or other media into your site

""Cheatin’ uh?""

then it simply means your version of Striking is not the current version. Some changes in the wp core commencing with version wp 3.4 mean you have to update your striking to the current version. So the answer is your Striking is out of date and needs to be updated.

Simple uh!

Use the Striking Advance panel update function to update to the current version of Striking, unless you are using a child theme, in which case you should know what you have to do as child theme use it is for advanced users anyways (you have to update the child by ftp, but only after you have done some other stuff).

While this message is cute, it wasted a lot of my time. I thought it was the ithemes plugin I was using. You guys have an awesome theme, but what is the point of confusing the user with a message like that?

I am getting the same message "cheatin uh". I opened the options.php file and did not see:
if ( !current_user_can('edit_posts') )
wp_die(__('Cheatin’ uh?'))

Please advise. Thank you. PS... you theme is still awesome!!
