I have been using AAM for quite a while now and have been very pleased with it. However, after updating a plugin and all of a sudden AAM went crazy on me (instead of the menu there’s a list of links).
I tried to deactivate all plugins in hope it would be a js conflict, but no success. Even when AAM is the only plugin active, it doesn’t function correctly.
I am using FF but the problem persists in IE as well. WP version 2.3.1.

The obvious question is what plugin was it that you updated that sent it wild and why is that not the culprit? And if THAT is not the culprit, what else did you do?
And my first thought - and main possibility although perhaps not the only one - is that the menu plugin can no longer find or load either the menu CSS file or the menu javascript file. You can find that out by loading an admin page and then ‘viewing source’ to find out if both were successfully loaded and checking the opath they are loaded from.

Since I couldn’t figure out if the js and css were called correctly, I decided to go back to the last OK backup and reinstall from there. So far so good.
Thanks for your help.

Just forgot - I think the plugin responsible for the mess is WP-DBManager 2.2. However, when disabling it the problem persists, so I don’t know why and how things go bad.

I just tried installing that plugin on my local test site and I have to say it didn’t screw the menus. There again - I didn’t try letting it DO anyhting….

I am having the same problem as above, and it seemed to start when I installed the dbmanager plugin - http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php.
Like CrazyVet, I am unable to get the functionality back no matter how many plugins I uninstall and reinstall. Unlike CrazyVet, however, I don't have a back up I can go to.
I've been playing with a test site and trying to take out what I can find of the dbmanger through phpmyadmin. I found “dbmanager_options” in the options section. I deleted that, but still no luck. I willing to try anything on the test site, obviously, but I still have the problem on my real site.
Any other possible sollutions you can think of?
Thanks.

Well the first thing I am going to say is that I am NOT going to install this plugin if this is the result! It also means however, that I have no idea what it does that could be so disastrous.
I really need to ask you the same question as I asked in post 2 above. Load up an admin page and then view source. There should be a CSS entry for 'chromestyle.css' and a script entry for 'chrome.js'.
If either are absent then that's the problem that needs resolving. if they are both there then check the pasths and make sure they are directed at the correct folder.
if they are both there and correct then the dbmanager plugin is doing somethign with javascript that is stopping the menus working but I donlt see how it could leave it behind if you deactivate it. Although have yioyu tried clearing the browser cache?

There should be a CSS entry for 'chromestyle.css' and a script entry for 'chrome.js'.
I saw that in the above posts, and so that's what I looked for first. They were there. I also checked for the possibility of a browser cache issue, but that wasn't it.
If there's anything else you can think of, I'd appreciated it.
Thanks.

It's the bit about 'not getting corrected' when the db manager plugin is deactivated thast concerns me.
I guess the only way I can see is to download it and try it. This a a bit of a problem as all my local systems are now WP2.5 so I will have to build one first . that will just take a little longer.

Well, I found a solution for the problem. I went to the site of the other plugin and looked around some more. Someone there was having problems with a different plugin. He decided in the end that it wasn't the database plugin that was causing the problems (I'm not so sure. Everything went crazy only after I put that plugin in, but … whatever).
Some of his notes are here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/99075?replies=3#post-494244
In the end, it seems that the paths to the image folder, css file, and js file somehow got out of whack … even though they seem to be in the right place.
What I did was move the images, css file, and js file out of the plugins folder and put them in wp-content. Then I changed the paths to them in the main php file. (I have heard that it's better to work with relative urls in php, but I did it with absolute urls for now. Maybe I'll try to work out the relative paths later - it's something that I need to study a little  .
I changed the following code in the main aamenus.php file to point to the new locations:
echo “\n” . '<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”http://www.mysite.com/blog/wp-content/chromestyle.css” />';
echo “\n” . “<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.mysite.com/blog/wp-content/chrome.js'></script>”;
And for the images:
$ipath = trailingslashit('http://www.mysite.com/blog/wp-content/images');
Anyway, it's back now, which is much better. This is great plugin. It improves the look and easy of use at least 200%.

Starnge. You really shouldn't have to do any of this but I'm glad it worked for you…
