 * Hi,
    I created a plugin called Category Manager, that allows wp users to ordre,
   create, delete and edit categories among other things. It is still in beta version.
 * A user who tried it informed me that he got the following error message when 
   trying to create a new category:
 * “You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/”
 * I dont quite understand why this happens, since to create a new category, my 
   plugin uses quite the same code as WordPress :
 * if ( !current_user_can(‘manage_categories’) )
    die (__(‘Cheatin’ uh?’));
 * wp_insert_category($_POST);
    wp_redirect(‘edit.php?page=category-manager.php’);
 * That’s all. Only the redirection changes. Any idea why one might get such an 
   error? Maybe adding
    ‘require_once(admin.php)’ above this might do the trick.
   However I have no possibility to test since I dont have the error.
 * The plugin’s page :

 * Please don’t bump threads, it stops them from appearing in the “no-replies” category,
   which means it will take longer to get back to you.
 * As for the problem with the plugin, I’m not sure. I’ll try out the plugin myself
   and see if I have any trouble.
