Wordpress permission issue on a fresh install of CiviCRM
I have around  workaround for this issue - not an answer or fix to the permissions problem though....

If you scroll to the footer of the page and click on the "System Status: error" link.

http://localhost/xxxxxx/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&amp;q=civicrm/a/#/status)

This will take to the config checklist screen.

Still need an answer to the permissions issue though - where do I set permissions for the config checklist page, and why would they have changed if I have not upgraded anything?
