I spent 2hours and 40 minutes trying to get this plugin to work. 2 hours and 30 minutes of that time was spent reading all 40 pages in this thread in hopes to discover a fix for my problem. Somewhere around page 30, Jafo kindly announced that he was refusing to help anyone who posted here looking for answers with this problem.

I was so close to just giving up. Just as I was about to smash my stupid laptop to pieces for being a lying bastard that wouldn't just let me into my damned admin panel, the answer came to me. I stood frozen with my MacBook raised high above my head, mere seconds away from hurling it to the hard-wood floor as visions of vBulletin control panels, PHP code and David Hasselhoff flashed before my eyes. It was at that moment that I knew that in order to get into the /wp-admin section, I needed to follow these steps:

1. Follow Jafo's install directions
2. After the plugin is successfully installed, register a new user with the EXACT SAME username as your WordPress administrator username. I was using "admin" to log into WP, so I created a VB user with the same name, "admin."
3. Log out your newly created user
4. Log back into VB with your VB administrator username.
5. Go to the VB Admin Control Panel
6. Click the "Users" category in the menu on the left side
7. Click "Search for Users" in the sub-menu that appears
8. Find your newly created user -- "admin" in my case
9. Change the Primary Group to "Administrators" and click save
10. Log out the current user
11. Log back in with the user you just set to "Administrators" -- again, this was "admin" for me.
12. Direct your browser to http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin and cheer!

I hope this helps someone. I did some cursing, a little punching and a lot of weeping in the 2 hours and 40 minutes that it took me to figure this out. If anyone is having problems following these directions, reply or PM me and I'll do my best to get back to you.

Word to your mothers,
Eric
