    Ok, I finally got this resolved. Here is what I did:

    1. backup existing database
    2. delete my wordpress blog installation folder
    3. Download latest wordpress install source and extract to newly created blog installation folder (same name structure).
    4. Restore config file from backup
    5. Restore plugins that I want to use
    6. Restore theme files that I want to use
    7. Restore database backup through phpMyAdmin from yesterday
    8. Verify everything works
    9. Reset some folder permissions
    10. Verify everything works
    11. Restore database backup taken when things weren’t working
    12. Verify things are working.

    I think this will fix things, so far everything is working, just a pain and frustrating that there is no explanation for this.

    I just restored a backup of my database from yesterday, and I still can’t access the presentation or plugins areas in the Wp-admin. Could something have changed actual files somewhere? I don’t understand how a database restore did not fix this. I also deleted the two plugins I had just added, and re-installed a working copy of my theme. Any suggestions?

    FYI – I just fixed it based on info from another forum, used the following steps:

    Can you try the following for me to see if that helps.
    1. De-activate the plugin.
    2. If you have access to phpmyadmin or some other database admin tool, connect to your WordPress database and look at the `wp_options table.
    3. Look for two entries, clearskys_dashboard_config and clearskys_dashboard_pages, and delete them.
    4. Re-activate the plugin and go to the Dashboard page.

    I have the same issue, anyone have a solution to this?

    Any chance you would be willing to share your theme? We’d love to see a link posted for download…

    I was using Copitt’s plugin before 2.2.X, but ran into some issues and thought that category visibility was a better plugin, but since neither work in 2.3, I’m stuck using post levels and marking the posts as private. WHile this does accomplish what I need, its cumbersome, slow and requires posting from the WP amin interface. I like to use third party software to post to my blog, so I can’t do that anymore either for private posts.
