 * If you use htaccess protection rules, one of them could be the reason; most likely,
   wp-content protection rules can break lastest versions of OZH menu plugin (as
   well as many other plugins). Rename you htaccess file to anything else and then
   try you admin section, see if the plugin works.
 * If it doesnt, you might want to add an exception on your wp-content protection
   rule, something like:
 * `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^.+(wp_ozh_adminmenu|adminmenu.css)\.php$`

 * Same thing for me, but only when using Firefox (lastest version). If I use IE,
   it works ok.
 * I installed a fresh new WP blog to test it. The only things I had installed were
   WP itself and Contact Form 7 plugin. CF7 couldn’t work on Firefox the same way.
   So it seems to me the issue is on CF7.

 * If it does not work, sounds like your host does not allow it. So you would have
   to go for “almost pretty links”, as explained above.

 * It’s on the same host?
 * Check the .htaccess file on the blog directory of the host you’ve been experiencing
   problems with. It should have this code written:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * (“RewriteBase /” and if you are using it the blog in the root of the website;
   if it is a folder inside the website, write its path there, as “/blog/”, if the
   folder is named “blog”; in this case, change also: “RewriteRule . /blog/index.
   php”).
 * If you dont see that code in the file, insert it manually and upload the file
   back to your blog directory. If you dont find any .htaccess file at all, create
   a text file, add the code above, upload to your blog directory and rename the
   file to “.htaccess”.
 * If your host doesnt allow you to add .htaccess files, you’d have to use “almost
   pretty links” instead of real pretty ones.
 * Example of an almost pretty link setting: `/index.php/%post_id%/%postname%/` (
   it should start with “/index.php/”, the rest is up to you).

   with both Firefox and IE8.

 * Are you refering to pages or posts? Do you have problems with both or just one
   of them?
 * Posts should not start with post name, you should pick a number before post name,
   as date or post id. Doing otherwise will slow down things and possibly create
   db issues, not recommended. On the other hand, pages start with their names. 
   That’s how WP figures quickly which one is a post and which one is a page.

 * You are using IE7, right? IE7 has issues with thin borders. It doesnt happen 
   on IE8.

 * You can use conditionals to display whatever you want on certain pages (editing
   pages.php), on certain single posts (editing single.php) and so on. Example:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_page(array(2,3,8)) ) { ?>
       	<div class="box"><div class="featured">
       	<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>
       	</div></div>
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * That’s the call for featured content gallery. I did set it to load only on pages
   2, 3 and 8 (ID numbers), on other pages it will not load (in the example, it’d
   be written on pages.php).
 * Another example, editing index.php:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( !is_404() ) { ?>
       	<div class="box"><div class="featured">
       	<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>
       	</div></div>
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * In here I did set it to display on index.php, except if it is a 404 error page.
 * You can read more about conditionals here:

 * Get sure you database is set to use UTF-8, and that your back-up is saved as 
   UTF-8 as well (paste is in a notepad and save as UTF-8; then import it on phpMyAdmin
   and see if it works; ziping the file you’ll export can help your database server
   to process it more quickly and, thus, avoid errors).

 * It’s an easy-to-use plugin. I think pretty much all is said on their “readme”
   text file. What’s your doubt about the plugin usage?
