I just upgraded to WordPress 4.6, and now when I try to click on the Settings link on some of my plugins I get this "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page." message.

I can active/deactivate the plugin fine but for some reason I can't go under the settings view.

I tried following some of the methods that other people used to fix this; like adding a new administrator and updating the "wp_capabilities" and "wp_user_level" values in the DB but it still does not work.

Does anyone know how I can further debug or resolve this issue?

How did you perform the upgrade and did you upgrade the plugins at the same time? I've seen that error on occasion when a file or folder within a plugin had the wrong permissions - like maybe I uploaded a file via FTP that had a security block on it. – Michelle 22 mins ago
    
I upgraded to 4.6 from admin first and then I updated the plugins afterwards from admin as well. – olimits7 20 mins ago
    
Have you tried uninstalling / reinstalling one of the plugins that's not working? Sometimes deactivating isn't enough. – Michelle 19 mins ago
    
One of the plugins I'm having this issue with is the "Hello Bar" plugin. I just tried uninstalling / reinstalling this plugin and it gives me the same message when I click on the "Settings" link...WP can be very frustrating at times! – olimits7 13 mins ago
