# Plugins Option Panel

 * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-option-panel/)
 * i tried to install Photopress and Contact Form ([http://ryanduff.net/projects/wp-contactform/](http://ryanduff.net/projects/wp-contactform/))
   plugins and in both cases i do get the menu in the Option Panel but I can’t
   access to it to make any change.
 * with photopress I get:
    “The system cannot find the file specified.�
 * with contact form:
    “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: load_plugin_textdomain()
   in e:\thesite.com\theblog\wp-admin\options-contactform.php on line 8�
 * when I installed wordpress I few days ago I had to change the options.php file
   according to the instructions here: [http://www.simmonsconsulting.com/wordpress/?p=160](http://www.simmonsconsulting.com/wordpress/?p=160).
   
   But I really have no idea how to solve this Option Panel plugin issue. Do I have
   to make options.php writable? Any ideas? Thanks in advance
 * PS: I did a search before posting but I didn’t find anything similar.
    Thanks

 * Looking just at WP-ContactForm, the installation instructions read:
 * “1. Upload wp-contactform.php and options-contactform.php to your plugins folder,
   usually wp-content/plugins/”
 * And your error message shows:
 * “Fatal error: … wp-admin\options-contactform.php on line 8”
 * See the problem? May want to double-check the directory Photopress is supposed
   to be installed to, as well.

 * my mistake
    i uploaded options-contactform.php to wp-admin instead of leaving
   it in the plugin folder is all good now with contact form
 * photopress is kinda solved too, but…
 * i went to [http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=1196](http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=1196)
   then to [http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2381](http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2381)
 * i changed these two files according to the instructions in their respective links:
 * menu-header.php
    [http://trac.wordpress.org/file/trunk/wp-admin/menu-header.php?rev=2381](http://trac.wordpress.org/file/trunk/wp-admin/menu-header.php?rev=2381)
 * admin-functions.php
    [http://trac.wordpress.org/file/trunk/wp-admin/admin-functions.php?rev=2381](http://trac.wordpress.org/file/trunk/wp-admin/admin-functions.php?rev=2381)
 * it did solved the option panel issue but is showing me several errors at the 
   top of the admin layout
    at the top of the panel, it constantly says there are
   errors in lines 6,7,8 and 9 in admin.php
 * these are the lines in the file:
 * header(‘Expires: Mon, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT’);
    header(‘Last-Modified: ‘ .
   gmdate(‘D, d M Y H:i:s’) . ‘ GMT’); header(‘Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate,
   max-age=0’); header(‘Pragma: no-cache’);
 * i know it must sound quite obvious for a php coder but I’m unable to see the
   problem or relations between the cache and the other files,
 * and no I don’t have a severe case of ADD, I’m just a designer 😛
 * this is constant, but then, when posting, deleting or saving, I frequently get
   errors of different lines in mostly these files:
 * post.php
    comment-function.php function.php
 * any ideas?
 * thanks
