    First, it won’t even give me an option to “Save the Update”, it only gives the option, “Submit for Review”

    Are you sure you want to do that? Please try again.

    Yes. It seems to have all started after I updated today.

    I tried to use a plugin to import tumblr posts as wordpress blog page posts so I didn’t have to manually retype them all. It worked except the format and sizing was off. So I deactivated/deleted the plugin.

    All 39 posts are gone from the actual site but they are still showing up in the Dashboard!

    I’m getting an error message –
    “You attempted to edit an item that doesn’t exist. Perhaps it was deleted?”

    I even tried Deleting the whole page and Creating a new one and No. Now I can’t even create or edit posts. Instead of the usual “Update” button, I get “submit for Review”

    I’ve created and deleted several new users and nothing.

    I tried re-creating a Custom Menu and Now my Original menu is Gone and it won’t let me create a new one. It allows me to create/name it but it won’t let me add any pages, links, etc to it. Nothing shows up.

    Sometimes it feels like my Administration permissions are set wrong but from a lot of searching/reading sometimes it felt like it was something to do with the .htmaccess file which I didn’t even touch.

    I also updated to 3.1.1 today because it told me to do that under Updates.

    The only thing I can think of next is to delete everything and start from scratch which makes me have a major headache because just even getting started and creating the Home page was hours of trial and error.

    I really thought it was all ready to go except I just had to add in those blog posts which I fully was prepared to do today, one by one.

    Try the normal debug.
    – deactivating all plugins (yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder if you have one. The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems. If you can’t log in to change themes, you can remove the theme folders via FTP so the only one is twentyeleven. That will force your site to use it.
