 * Hi – the instant I updated the latest version of Adminimize (via the dashboard)
   WordPress crashed and I had the following error message:
 *     ```
       Warning: require_once(inc-setup/dashboard.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/wp-content/plugins/adminimize/adminimize.php on line 1324
   
       Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'inc-setup/dashboard.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/wp-content/plugins/adminimize/adminimize.php on line 1324
       ```

 * use ftp client or host’s file manager to rename `/adminimize` folder
    this will
   let you log in to test

 * I just updated the Adminimize plugin this morning as well, and it is also giving
   me the same exact error. From what I’m reading, this problem has happened in 
   the past in regards to a ABSPATH not being defined properly although I am unsure.
   Hope to get a fix soon.

 * FIXED the problem by downloading [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/adminimize.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/adminimize.zip)
 * Replace the whole wp-content/plugins/adminimize folder with the contents of this
   ZIP and the problem is fixed.
