[Plugin: PhotoContest Plugin] parent page field gone

Hi, i can’t find the answer to why i’d suddenly lost the parent page field. i had it once and am now trying to go to an old back up and just start from there again. i’ve tried firefox, chrome, safari. i’m on mac.

i believe that’s the only way i can group it all on one page. i’d rather not have a page and then an enter the contest. just a page where they show thumbnails and the contest name and the links to post or view etc.

i’ve also tried creating the contests as posts and as pages thinking that might be it.

finally i’ve tried doing it through the update settings and then creating a new one, and also creating a new one and then editing in the page or post dash.

i’m very new to wordpress and plugins but see great potential thanks to great plug-ins like yours, and i would really appreciate any insight on this issue if you could (or if anyone could).

thanks so much,
anthony
