Right hand panel disappeared after WordPress update

If you upgrade your WordPress installation, you may lose your right hand panel. To restore the right hand panel, please follow the three steps below:

Step 1. Download the latest versions of our AffiliateX WordPress plugins from the following links and unzip the files into a known folder on your computer:

1. http://affiliatex.com/wp-plugins/AffiliateX/affiliatex-3.0.zip
2. http://affiliatex.com/wp-plugins/affx-autocontent-client/affx-autocontent-client-1.1.zip
3. http://affiliatex.com/wp-plugins/lightboxes/lightboxes-1.1.zip
4. https://github.com/downloads/meglio/wp-upgrademe/upgrademe-0.2.zip

Step 2. Connect to your site using FTP and navigate to the wp-content/plugins directory. You can use the free FTP client, FileZilla, available from this url:

http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client

Step 3. Upload the extracted files into the wp-content/plugins directory using your FTP program. Note: you can overwrite the existing files with these new files, no problem.

When you have finished uploading, your directory tree will look like this:

- wp-admin
- wp-content
--- plugins
------ AffiliateX
------ affx-autocontent-client
------ blueboxes
------ upgrademe
--- themes
--- ...

You now have the latest versions of all the AffiliateX plugins installed and you should ensure they are all active.

Ensure you have activated the "upgrademe" plugin to allow this. This feature also ensures that you will be notified in your admin panel of any future available AffiliateX plugins or updates. Please see the link below if you do not know how to activate this plugin:
