WordPress Settings Menu Disappears

Bump

any one help me out?

Have you other installed plugins?

There is only two plugins are active now in this wordpress installation.

1.SEO Ultimate
2.Magic fields

I have it whereby my Pages Admin panel has vanished! I’m a little too scared to deactivate magic fields in case any of my settings are lost. I have to access the Pages by going into the Dashboard but the menu item for Pages in the left menu is no longer visible.

OMG, Its a compatibility issues with seo-ultimate plugin. Once i deactivated seo ultimate, i got my settings menu back.

That’s odd because I don’t even use that plugin.

Anyone there to help me?

I optimised my WP database and the Pages panel appeared once again. You may want to try that.

I tracked down the bug in Magic Fields. Magic Fields alters WordPress’ $menu global without changing the $_wp_last_utility_menu global, which causes the “Settings” menu to disappear whenever a plugin (such as SEO Ultimate) calls WordPress’ add_utility_menu() function.

Until the Magic Fields author fixes this bug, you can add this code after line 375 in magic-fields/RCCWP_Menu.php:

global $_wp_last_utility_menu;
$_wp_last_utility_menu += $offset;

In context, it’ll look like this:

foreach ($menu as $k => $v) {
if($k > 5) $new_menu[$k+$offset]=$v;
}

global $_wp_last_utility_menu;
$_wp_last_utility_menu += $offset;

$menu = $new_menu;
RCCWP_Menu::SetCurrentCustomWritePanelMenuItem();

Hello John Lamansky

Thanks for your efforts to find the problem.

But when i posted the same issue in magic fields support, magic fields developer who have replied here..

https://github.com/hunk/Magic-Fields/issues/130#issuecomment-1550846

Which one is correct?

Magic Fields breaks WordPress’s add_utility_menu() function, which WordPress provides for plugins to use. The Magic Fields author’s solution is to make SEO Ultimate and other plugins stop using add_utility_menu(), whereas my solution is to make Magic Fields stop breaking the function.

Hello John Lamansky

Thanks for your reply along with the reason.

Like your plugin, your answer is also out of box. Truly amazing…

Great thanks again..

Thanks John, fixed
