# Bug when saving settings

 * When I go to Settings -> Menu Editor -> Settings and click on the save settings
   button, it takes me to the login screen (even though I was already logged in 
   without time-out). After logging in again, it takes me to a plain version of 
   the settings page again (i.e. without the admin bar, admin menu etc) and the 
   changed options have not been saved.
    If I then change the options again and 
   click on the save settings button, the settings *are* saved and I’m taken back
   to a normal version of the settings page.
 * Tried several times with same result, though I have to admit this is on a WP 
   3.4.2 install which I’m in the process of upgrading.

 * Sorry, I’m afraid I haven’t heard of anyone encountering this kind of a problem
   before. Have you noticed any correlations between the settings you change and
   getting logged out, or does it seem to happen every time, regardless of what 
   changes you’ve made?
 * Just in case it’s a plugin conflict, try temporarily deactivating other plugins
   before saving the menu. If it works, re-activate your plugins one by one until
   it stops working again to identify the conflict.

 * Actually, the bug is a lot more far-reaching than I thought. It makes me re-login
   for *every* single admin page…. no matter which page, no matter the action (i.
   e. no matter whether I just click on an admin menu link or try to save settings).
 * It only started after upgrading AME and de-activating AME solves it.
 * The PHP error log does not show any related errors, so I’d have to dive in to
   figure out what is going on. Unfortunately I don’t have the time at the moment…

 * If it’s really related to the latest update, you might be able to work around
   it by downgrading to the previous version (at least for now). You can [download older versions of the plugin here](http://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-menu-editor/developers/).

 * I’ve deactivated the plugin for now as I want to finish the upgrade process first.
   Will test again after that and if I find the time, will see if I can find the
   error and fix it for you.
 * Will keep you informed.
