   This mainly relates to plugins as they are the only ones that do this, but I have 2 plugins that add a tab to the Options page of the Admin. They format the links like this:

   http://www.website.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=BAStats/BAStats.php
   http://www.website.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=SK2/spam_karma_2_plugin.php

   Notice how they have a folder/directory before the actual page name as that is where the file is inside the plugins folder.

   For whatever reason, when I go to those pages, it just shows the regular WP Admin interface but no content...no options for either of those plugins.

   Any ideas?

   Edit, I take that back, it does the same for this link to:

   http://www.website.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=subscribe-to-comments.php

   Now i'm just confused.

   You running straight 1.5 Strayhorn release?

   Yes, I am.

   And when you say "it just shows the regular WP Admin interface but no content", what does that mean? Do you mean it has the appropriate headers -- including perhaps even a highlighted "tab" for the current page -- and then the footer immediately following?

   Here's a screen shot from one of them:

   Has this always happened or did it just start?

   Has always been that way.

   Waitaminute... are you on a Windows or Unix or Apple host? Didn't I recall you having trouble with pathnames before? Or am I thinking of someone different?

    I'm on a *nix box and haven't had pathnames issues other than this.

    Save a copy of your wp-admin/admin-functions.php file and edit it. Replace the add_menu_page() function with this version and see if it helps:

    function add_menu_page($page_title, $menu_title, $access_level, $file, $function = '') {
global $menu, $admin_page_hooks;
$file = plugin_basename($file);
$menu[] = array($menu_title, $access_level, $file, $page_title);
$admin_page_hooks[$file] = sanitize_title($menu_title);
$hookname = get_plugin_page_hookname($file, '');
if ( !empty($function) && !empty($hookname) )
add_action($hookname, $function);
return $hookname;
}

    I'm afraid I had no luck with that.

    In what way? It does the same thing?

    Same thing...no change at all.

    I'm at a loss. If you know PHP this may be the time to start narrowing it down with echo calls to print out important stuff in the admin.php file. Figure out which path it's heading down in the part that says

    // Handle plugin admin pages.
if (isset($_GET['page'])) {

    by echoing the $page_hook variable and such. Goofy indeed.

    Okay, I've done some stupid things before when troubleshooting problems...but before i start doing a ton of stuff....where can i make sure and be absoutely positive i'm using strayhorn? i'm 99.999% sure i am....but i've been wrong before.

    Erm. Only way to tell for sure would be to download Strayhorn and diff it against your installation.

    Okay, i'm echoing $page_hook for one of the pages and got this:

    options_page_BAStats/BAStats

    for this page:

    http://www.website.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=BAStats/BAStats.php

    How about the "subscribe-to-comments" one, since that one isn't a subdirectory (and, I have it installed in my installation :])? What might also be useful would be dumping the page_hook calculated from within the add_menu_page() function to compare it.

    subscribe-to-comments shows "options_page_subscribe-to-comments"

    I will say this...I have that Contact Form plugin and it's URL is:

    admin.php?page=options-contactform.php

    as opposed to the others being

    options-general.php?page=.......

    Not sure exactly what that means but the admin.php plugin isn't having trouble while the options-general.php ones are...

    Also, pardon my ignorance but you what dyou mean dump the page_hook?

    Right now I have:

    if (isset($_GET['page'])) {
    $plugin_page = plugin_basename($_GET['page']);
    $page_hook = get_plugin_page_hook($plugin_page, $pagenow);
    echo $page_hook;

    to echo things.

    Haha...sorry, was typing WAY to fast...again:

    "Also, pardon my ignorance, by what do you mean dump the page_hook?"

    No, you're fine. What you have is precisely what I intended :).

    alrighty....so did you "dump[ing] the page_hook calculated from within the add_menu_page() function to compare it" or what? ;)

    I think i'm confused about your use of "dump"...the only thing I've done is add the echo $page_hook; to the add_menu_page() function as well as the:

    // Handle plugin admin pages.
    if (isset($_GET['page'])) {

    The only thing I've seen is the "options_page_subscribe-to-comments" that gets echoed at the top of the page.

    Ah. But it's only printing it once? That's interesting, there'd have to be more than one if you've got 2 echos. Make sure you have echos in all conditional paths in the admin.php file, and make sure you cna tell the echos apart (e.g. echo "1. $page_hook"; for one and echo "2. $page_hook"; for another).

    My admin.php looks like this:

    http://www.codepaste.net/54

    And my add_menu_page() function in admin-functions.php looks like this:

    http://www.codepaste.net/55

    With that I'm only getting the number 1.

    Hmm, wait a sec... which version of Subscribe To is that? The latest preview is only for 1.5.1, and as far as I know that's the only one that has an admin interface.
