 * I have the latest version of WordPress and AG Custom Admin. I filled it all out,
   however when I click save I cannot get any of the changes to take effect. Am 
   I doing something wrong? Any advice? I’m not getting an errors that I know of.
   Not to sure where else to check besides my Error Logs. Please help

 * It is strange. You could try some of these solutions:
    – clear browser’s cache
   and reload page – try another browser – check if javaScript is disabled – check
   if any errors are shown in browser’s console – try to login as different user,
   and different role, administrator, editor etc. – disable all other plugins and
   test if there is any conflict

 * Hi, I have the same problem. I installed the plugin earlier for the first time
   and everything seemed to work correctly, however I had to re-install (because
   of a problem with something else, not this plugin). Since then, it has not worked
   at all. I have even deleted all the corresponding tables in the database and 
   then re-installed again, but still having no luck. I have tried in different 
   browsers and cleared caches etc.
 * Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

 * uh.. you shouldn’t touch database directly, it might be something corrupted now.
   try to remove plugin completely, and look for options in wp_options table that
   starts with ‘agca_’ those are AG Custom Admin options and feel free to delete
   those if you find them after plugin deinstallation. Download fresh plugin copy
   1.2.5.2 if you have latest WP version, or 1.2.5 for earlier WP versions, install
   it, clear cache and refresh page. This should work in 99% situations. If it’s
   not, disable all other plugins, and try again. If this doesn’t help than, only
   thing that comes up to my mind is that your WP installation is corrupted somehow.

 * What you have said to do is exactly what I did, sorry if I had not made that 
   clear. Everything else in my wordpress install works completely normally and 
   as it should. I had already done as you said and deleted all the ‘agca_’ options
   in the database after having deleted the plugin and reinstalled a fresh copy 
   of it. Everything then works again now, but as soon as I try and use the dashboard
   page content options the whole plugin stops working and all the changes it had
   made revert to how they were before I installed it. This is very odd, as all 
   the data is still correctly in the database and the plugin options pages are 
   still displaying the settings I want, but still they have no effect.
 * It seems to just be an issue with the dashboard settings that keeps preventing
   it from working on my install?

 * I think someone has already reported me that error, but I couldn’t reproduce 
   it on my local machine in order to test it. The problem was exactly with dashboard
   page. I guess there is some special character that cause an error in background
   but I’m not sure wich one. Could you send me an example of your custom dasboard
   page content? Or you could test it by yourself, try to find smallest possible
   use case that doesn’t work and post it back. You could try also to check if there
   are some JavaScript errors in your browser (i.e. for FireFox go to tools->web
   developer->error console) and see if there is anything interesting.
