scythah,

I got it working! It seems that the 2.8.1 upgrade reset all user role capabilities to WordPress defaults. I had set some capabilities in ‘Capabilities Manager’ plugin that got zapped. I had given up on Email Users and was looking to do some other things and needed to reinstall Capabilities Manager and happened to notice that there were email caps that I had FORGOTTEN about. Reset those and voila! The menu item appeared and everything seems to work.

Thanks a bunch for you efforts.

StatPress Reloaded and WP Photo Album both create a menu item and I’ve deactivated and reactivated them to check if they were still able to create the menu and they did. While deactivated I tried activating Email Users to check for conflicts; none, same result.

I just tried the Tools-Upgrade you suggested then tried all the above again. No change.

For some reason activation is not creating that menu item. I wish I knew more about the inner workings of this stuff.

No, that didn’t work either. Actually, I have been deleting the directory on the host prior to every reinstall anyway. If other 2.8.2 users are getting the menu item, then it would seem to be something on my wp install or my host.

Thanks for the try, though. I hate this. That plugin was great.

Thank you scythah for your efforts. However, when I install and activate the plugin I don’t get the ‘Email’ menu item appearing on my Dashboard menu. The ‘Email Users’ shows up under Settings but no actual menu item. I’m running WP 2.8.2 if that makes a difference. However, this is the same result I got when I rolled back to 2.7.1 and reinstalled. Once it quit working nothing seems to fix it. I’m not a programmer so I’m at a loss.

Any advice?
