 * Hi [@dotse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dotse/) ,
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * I understand that the WooCommerce sidebar menu disappears when you click on any
   of the WooCommerce sub-menu items, is this correct?
 * I am unable to reproduce this issue on my test site which uses the latest version
   of WordPress and WooCommerce, and has the default [Storefront](https://wordpress.org/themes/storefront/)
   theme active.
 * I’d like to have a better understanding of your site’s current environment, as
   well as a better idea of what you are experiencing on your end. Please can you
   share the following:
    - **System Status Report:** navigate to **WooCommerce** → **Status**. Select`
      Get system report` and then `Copy for support`.
    - **Fatal Error log:** Share a copy of any fatal error log found under **WooCommerce**
      → **Status** → **Logs**.
    - **Screenshots**: Please share a screenshot of how the menu items look **before**
      clicking on a sub-menu item, as well as what you are seeing **after** clicking
      on a sub-menu item.
 * [_Snipboard.io_](https://snipboard.io/)_ can be used for easily sharing screenshots–
   please follow the instructions on that page, then paste the URL in your reply._
 * Once you have these, please share them in your response here.
 * Cheers!

 * Thanks for your reply, as you can see below, i am unable to see the woocommerce

   I can share admin backend access with you to check yourself.

 * Hi [@dotse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dotse/)
 * Thanks for sharing the requested information above.
 * This is quite strange that the sub-menus disappeared on your site’s dashboard.
 * For us to investigate this further, can you please try to switch to the [default Storefront theme](https://woocommerce.com/storefront/)
   and only WooCommerce plugin is enabled and see if this works?
 * If so, then this kind of problem is usually caused by your theme or a third-party
   plugin present on your site. We can run a conflict test to verify this. I’d recommend
   cloning your site to a staging environment and performing the tests described
   on this [guide](https://woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/) 
   without modifying your live site or impacting customers. Many hosts provide staging
   facilities, so it’s worth checking in with them. It’s also possible to do it 
   using the free [WP Staging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/) plugin.
 * If this was caused by a third-party plugin present on your site, it would be 
   best to reach out to the developers for further assistance here.
 * If this did not resolve the issue, please share your **System Status Report**,
   that will help us further troubleshoot.
 * You can find it via `WooCommerce > Status`. Select `Get system report` and then`
   Copy for support`. Once you’ve done that, you can paste it into your reply here.
 * If you could also provide the **fatal error logs** (if any) under `WooCommerce
   > Status > Logs`.
 * You could copy and paste your reply here or paste it via [https://gist.github.com/](https://gist.github.com/)
   and send the link here.
 * > I can share admin backend access with you to check yourself.
 * Meanwhile, kindly prevent sharing your site’s credentials as this is against 
   the [Forum Guidelines](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/) and one of 
   the [bad stuff](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#the-bad-stuff).

 * Hi [@dotse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dotse/) ,

   we’ll be here if you need any further help with this.
