cocomment? What is that please?

On the menus then currently no - it doesn’t work. The WP team are putting in place a new UI for the admin pages and at the moment it is hard to see where it is going. As is usual with the WP developers they have not divulged to plugin authors what on earth is going on, what it will look like and how it will work. No doubt I will find out when it is released! But at the moment it doesn’t work.

Wooah, don’t know what happened then, I had to close the cocomment feature down to be able to post that last comment - it kept getting stuck with trying to send to cocomment. Never seen that happen before, wonder if it will do it again?
LATER: Yep it did happen again….

Thanks for this information, it was exactly what I needed - this page came up as the first result in my Google search. I’ve also been using your Admin Drop Down Menus plugin for a while now. Do you know if it will work with the next version of WordPress?

You did create a new one first and then log in with the new one?

WP2.3.2 is not letting me delete the original admin! How do I overcome this little obstacle?

Update to this information…

On an established Blog you can create the new Admin account as before.

When you go to delete the old admin account, WP now asks if you want to delete the posts associated with that account, or assign them to a different author…

Simply assign the old posts and such to the new Admin account and all is right with the world.
