 I'm using WordPress multi-sites and in one of the 300 sites when I want to
 edit a category or a tag, I get error message "You need a higher level of
 permission. Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this item."


 As I saw in the bug #46297, I used the plugin wp-find-shared-terms
 (https://github.com/jjeaton/wp-find-shared-terms) and click "Split shared
 items" button, but it splits none :

     Splitting all shared terms
     Process complete!
     Processed: 42
     Split: 0
     Skipped: 42
     Errors: 0

 And the bug remains when I want to edit a category (I get the error
 message "You need a higher level of permission. Sorry, you are not allowed
 to edit this item.").
