 * Not sure what happened, but all of a sudden the menu in the admin area is limited
   to settings, help and re-order…
 * All the other options are gone; like Events, Add Events etc. I tried to deactivate
   all the other plugins as well as deactivate and re-activate the event manager,
   but nothing changed.
 * any advice is appreciated. thanks,
    biorn

 * hmmm, for whatever reason all the user capabilities were unchecked… thus hiding
   most admin menus. this was not done by anyone, so it is a mystery.
 * anyone experienced anything similar?

 * haven’t experience this error before; however, I assumed this issue is resolved
   now (based on your last comment)?

 * I’ve got the same error (limited to settings, help). Events Manager (not Pro)
   Version 5.5.1 WordPress 3.6.1
    When I try the link: “…/wp-admin/post-new.php?
   post_type=event” just keeps saying “Cheating Huh?” Add events option do not appear
   in the Admin “+ New” menu…

 * this can happen (rare but I’ve seen this before) due to other plugins that mess
   with user capabilities and trigger some sort of reset on updates.
 * unfortunately I don’¡t think there’s much we can do about it, since there are
   plugins that do this correctly (Capability Manager is used by many and supposedly
   works) and updates go without a hitch.
 * fortunately, the solution is usually quite simple, visit Events > Settings > 
   General > User Capabilities and make sure your caps are set correctly (e.g. check
   them all for admins)
