 * getting this error on activation:
 *     ```
       Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
       Warning: require_once(utf8_to_ascii/utf8_to_ascii.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/web80/web/wp-content/plugins/uploadplus/uploadplus.php on line 37
       ```
   
 * any ideas?

 * my usual commit error, sorry. I forgot the utf8_to_ascii folder, now both in 
   trunk and 2.7.

 * ok, updated, now it activates, but I can’t find the settings menu. then I noticed
   on the plugins page, is a link to the settings: [http://myblog/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=uploadplus](http://myblog/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=uploadplus)
   so I clicked it and get a blank page saying: Cannot load uploadplus.

 * this is my first plugin coding attempt after several months without WordPress
   at all, so I’m probably missing some old good practice. I’m trying to do my best,
   that’s for sure.
 * apart from that: which WP/WPMU version? the option panel is supposed to be under
   the options -> general settings page : [http://blog/wp-admin/options-misc.php](http://blog/wp-admin/options-misc.php)
   
   I’ll probably have to triplecheck all this weekend…

 * [@ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/): It looks like the description
   isn’t updated yet. It still directs to [http://example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=uploadplus](http://example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=uploadplus)
   where it should direct to [http://example.com/wp-admin/options-misc.php](http://example.com/wp-admin/options-misc.php)

 * sorry guys, always using the latest version wp 2.7.1 and wpmu 2.7 and have been
   using your last version until it broke than one patched by a guy in this forum,
   then upgraded to this version and the menu doesn’t show up like I explained above…
   
   can’t add more info to this…

 * oh, I think wpmu doesn’t have that miscellaneous options page!? I have to stick
   to an older patched version for wpmu 🙁
