 * hi there,
 * great plugin, have been using it for many years! i have a site where this plugin
   has been used for a long time, gone through many updates in wordpress and the
   plugin itself. to be honest, i havent changed any of menu entries for over 2 
   years, and now i have the following problem:
 * if i change the configuration and hit save, ALL custom menu entries will be gone.
   now that the config is blank (some standard set of options is saved in the ws_menu_editor
   wp_option), i cannot add any new menu entries. no matter what i do, the configuration
   remains blank. i can now reimport the old ws_menu_editor config, and everything
   will work, but any time the plugin updates its options, everything is reset. 
   i have checked the validity of the known good ws_menu_editor option, and it’s
   a valid serialized string. have tried deleting the wp_option and it just resets
   and then cannot save. have tried deinstalling and deleting the plugin, then reinstalling
   from wp, still no change.
 * what can i do? we desparately need this functionality and we have almost 50 custom
   menus in place, to redo them all as custom plugin would be a huge pain in the
   rear, plus we really enjoy the flexibility of your plugin. any help will be greatly
   appreciated. thanks in advance.
 * take care,
    -rob

 * That sounds like it could be a database issue. Is this happening on a regular
   site or a Multisite network?
 * Assuming that it’s just a normal site, here’s what I would recommend: back up
   the WordPress database, then check and repair the wp_options table. If you’re
   using phpMyAdmin or something similar then there should be an option to check/
   repair the table. As for other DB management tools, you could run these two queries
   manually:
    `CHECK TABLE wp_options;` and `REPAIR TABLE wp_options;`
 * If it’s a Multisite installation, I would recommend doing the same thing with
   the wp_sitemeta table as well.
 * Once you’ve verified that the database is in good shape, please uninstall and
   reinstall the plugin again.
