 * Hi, I can’t see the WP Activity log in my admin menu.
    When I go to the plugins
   page, it show the latest version is installed and activated. When I then click
   on the Log Viewer or settings, I get an error message: _Sorry, you are not allowed
   to access this page._ I did previously configure it to be visible to admin only,
   And I did test with anther admin account. I have reset the .htaccess by saving
   permalinks under settings/reading.
 * Any idea?
    Thank you
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadmin-cant-access-wp-activity-log%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@schalkjoubert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schalkjoubert/)
 * Thank you for using our plugin.
 * I am sorry to read about your issue. Could it be that you restricted access using
   an admin account that now has been deleted? Anyway, the best thing to do is to
   restore the default access where the administrators can view the log and manage
   the plugins.
 * To do this please follow the below procedure:
 * 1) Backup the WordPress database as a precaution
    2) Access the WordPress database
   with a tool such as phpMyAdmin 3) Delete the entries with the below _option\_name_
   from the _wp\_options_ table: – wsal_restrict-plugin-settings – wsal_only-me-
   user-id
 * This should do the trick. Can you please keep us posted on the status of this
   issue?
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.

 * Hi Robert<
 * I had an issue where I could not even see my WP Activity Log option on the dashboard,
   I followed the same steps you have outlined for this issue and it resolved my
   issue, not sure when my issue occurred, but I removed the two options in wp_options
   table and I can now see the WP Activity Log on the dashboard.
 * My issues seem to go a little deeper, I cannot even see the WP Activity Log plugin
   listed on my Installed Plugins, and even the Gravity Forms add-on is not listed.
 * Ken
