 It happened to me when I deleted the admin user with ID = 1 and moved all
 its posts and pages to another user with admin privileges. As soon as I
 did it, some older pages could not be edited anymore (only seen or
 deleted).

 In order to regain control of those pages, I had to patch wp-
 includes/capabilities.php as follows:

 {{{
 function current_user_can( $capability, ...$args ) {
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();

        if ( empty( $current_user ) ) {
                return false;
        }

        if ($current_user->has_cap(‘create_users')) return true; // line
 added

        return $current_user->has_cap( $capability, ...$args );
 }
 }}}
