Hi Jacob,
OK, my mistake — as i mentioned, i am not very experienced at plugin coding, and the “research” consisted of a quick Google search for the plugin_action_links hook.

Anyway, back to the issue:
I have just tested your plugin with a few fresh, unmodified installations of WP (3.0, 3.0.6 and 3.1.2, all once from the original release archive, once from the German WP archive de.ww.wp.xz.cn). No additional plugins or themes were installed, no changes were made to the admin menu.

In all these installations, the settings page does not integrate within the admin interface, and there is no “Settings” link on the plugins overview page (the plugin itself is shown with the usual options to activate/deactivate/delete, plus the usual description and links to the author’s website).

I also tried adding some prints and echoes to the functions mentioned by you, however these do not show up on any page, neither when browsing through admin pages, nor after activating/deactivating the plugin. I also tried this once with WP_DEBUG on and once with it off (should not really be relevant, but I tried anyways).

Now to an interesting part of my tests:
For my current project I work locally under Windows 7 with XAMPP. Just to try it out I went and installed the plugin on my live web server, which runs with Ubuntu Linux (8.04), and it worked just fine. So, the issue might not be WP at all, but the OS on which the web server is run (newcom1 had a similar problem described in his thread and he also runs WP on XAMPP for Windows), or maybe the web server (Apache 2.2.17 with PHP 5.3.5 in XAMPP, Apache 2.2.8 with PHP 5.2.4 on my live server).

Maybe this information helps…
