Fixing the missing Options thing

There’s a bug in WP 1.5 where only the Options page for the last-loaded plugin appears:

mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=1196

Fixing it requires a slight modification to menu-header.php in the wp-admin folder. The bug is fixed in the latest WP in the repository though, You can get the latest WP with this command:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/

Or, you can download this copy of menu-header.php that I got today (rename it, of course):

menu-header.phps

If you use the ContactForm plugin, this will make its Options page ugly, with double menus. To fix that, edit options-contactform.php, deleting the lines at the top starting with “require” and “include”.

    Thank you very much!
    The links are working now.
    But clicking on them a get a message called “Invalid plugin page”

    I did a clean reinstall of Wordpress and Photopress. I changed nothing but the menu-header.php

    Do you have an idea where the problem is?

    Ok - I got it:
    I had to get the latest version of the admin-functions.php and it worked.

    Thank you for this great plugin! Good job!
