I just tried this and it fix most of the problems (panels are working) and the localization issues are fixed on most pages.
Glad to hear it worked out in the end.

In what language? Velocity? I don't know where to start with that - I'll probably just not delete users until that issue is resolved.
Yes, Velocity is the easiest to use. Anyway, to make this easier, I`ve published 2 small apps to help out with this particular issue: * One to list these deleted users that are still causing issues since they are set as content authors on some pages (thus possibly breaking those pages, as we have seen): http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/List+Deleted+Content+Au... * Another one to take such problematic users and fix the documents they affect by setting a new user in their place as content author: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Change+Content+Author Hope this helps you further clean up your wiki and others in the same situation. Thanks, Eduard P.S.: Of course, recreating the user, as you did, still remains a valid solution as well, so you just use whatever you prefer.

Hello again, Keith.
Please see point 2) in my first answer to you ( http://markmail.org/message/kiq665kkscfvag43 ) and please offer us the information Vincent requested at his point 2) (in the reply above) about the last author ("Last modified by XXXXXX") of one of the documents that is failing to execute the velocity macro.
Also, remember that Panels, for instances, have their own documents in which they are located (see https://yoursite.com:port /xwiki/bin/view/Panels/ and pick some that work and some that don`t work, so that we can spot the difference), so you have to show the last author of *that* document and not of a document where the panel is used (like in the picture you`ve recently provided https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D679848_06124469_052955 ).
Also, regarding your posted picture, you can see there that the last author of that document (of Main.WebHome) is "Administrator" so most likely scripts will work there, as you`ve previously confirmed that the Administrator account you are using has programming rights. You now need to check the pages that don`t work, as mentioned by Vincent (and myself).
If indeed this is the issue (and most likely it is, since you`ve mentioned there was a user which is now deleted that did the administrative work in the past), you have 2 options: 1) (easy but requires minimal coding) Write a quick and small script that searches for all documents having the deleted user as content author and resaves them with the Administrator user as last content author, so that the scripts start working, or... 2) (easiest/quickest solution, no coding) "To fix this, you could recreate the previously deleted user and make sure he has the 'script' right.". This way no further action should be needed on the problematic documents since they will simply start working since their last content author is now a valid user again.
Thanks, Eduard

Hi Keith,

" You could save the concerned pages with a user having Script permissions (you could script this if there are plenty of pages)."
I still think we are not on the same page - this is for almost every script, including all the "panel" scripts (Recent Modifications, etc...). These panels are used on every single page and I've tried saving pages to fix this, but it does not work. Strange, there is one that is working, Orphaned Pages.
Remember I was just replying to your **specific** question:
"I installed Xwiki originally, but a user that is no longer here (and the user has been deleted) has done most of the upgrades for some time. Is it possible that because his account is missing, there are no rights to these scripts?”
And my answer was yes and that the solution for this was to resave the pages he has last modified and that contained some script.
Now regarding your problem, I haven’t been following this thread closely but it should be very easy to diagnose:
1) What error do you get when you click on the error in a panel? 2) If the error is about Script rights, then, when you navigate to the panel page and check the last author who is it? Is that author existing in your wiki and does it have script rights?
Thanks -Vincent
Here is a screenshot: https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D679848_06124469_052955
How do I re-save these? Also, I can't update or add / remove extensions because of this issue. Really, the whole system is unusable in this state.

But what do I do to fix this issue now or are we stuck on 7.1.2 until this is fixed?
You could save the concerned pages with a user having Script permissions (you could script this if there are plenty of pages).
Re localization error, maybe they’re executed inside velocity scripts too and these pages also need to be saved by a user with script rights.

I installed Xwiki originally, but a user that is no longer here (and
the user has been deleted) has done most of the upgrades for some time. Is it possible that because his account is missing, there are no rights to these scripts?
Indeed, that’s a possibility and what Edy was suggesting, see http://markmail.org/message/et34vg63fuul33xc
I’ve also created http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12676 to
