Title: [Plugin: WP-DBManager] Missing Database Icon for WP-Database Manager Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP-DBManager] Missing Database Icon for WP-Database Manager * [steve49589](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steve49589/) * (@steve49589) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/) * Anyone else missing the database icon for the WP-dbmanager plugin? My error logs was showing that it could not find the icon, but it does seem to be in the proper folder. * The icon is not showing up in the WP admin dashboard navigation menu.

Can you re-download the plugin and upload it again? Make sure your folder is NOT nested like /wp-dbmanager/wp-dbmanager/ but just /wp- dbmanager/ * [monodistortion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monodistortion/) * (@monodistortion) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952462) * I just had this problem too. The installation instructions aren’t entirely clear but you need to move the `.htaccess` file from `wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/. htaccess` to `wp-content/backup-db/.htaccess` * The `.htaccess` file in the plugin folder blocks all access to that folder with apache. You’ll get a 403 Forbidden error if you don’t move it. * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952463) * [http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-dbmanager.html](http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-dbmanager.html)( Under Usage Tab) Step 4 onwards. Perhaps you can tell me which Step is unclear and I can change the phrases. * [monodistortion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monodistortion/) * (@monodistortion) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952487) * You mean under the Installation tab? * I would change the wording to: 4. The script will automatically create a folder called `backup-db` in the `wp-content` folder if that folder is writable. If it is not created, please create it and CHMOD it to 777. * 5. Move the `.htaccess` file from: `wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/.htaccess` to: `wp-content/backup-db/.htaccess` * On Apache servers this prevents access to any files in the `backup-db` folder for your security. * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952489) * Thank you, I will update it. * [mossoffa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mossoffa/) * (@mossoffa) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952490) * I was confused by the instructions, too. I didn’t know where to move it from. But I don’t see .htaccess in my plugins/wp-dbmanager folder. It’s probably my ftp client hiding it from me (filezilla), but I can’t see how to fix that. Suggestions? Thanks. * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952491) * the .htaccess IS included in the zip file. * [monodistortion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monodistortion/) * (@monodistortion) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952495) * Mossoffa, * I use Filezilla and I see the .htaccess files. Try this: [http://www.intrepid.com.au/how-to-view-htaccess-with-filezilla/](http://www.intrepid.com.au/how-to-view-htaccess-with-filezilla/) * [mossoffa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mossoffa/) * (@mossoffa) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952496) * Thanks monodistortion…got it now. * [pmcasey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pmcasey/) * (@pmcasey) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952531) * The original question is still unanswered. Any know the answer? * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952532) * Check for any .htaccess in /wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/ and move it to / wp-content/backup-db/ * [pmcasey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pmcasey/) * (@pmcasey) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952535) * [@gamerz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/): I tried the .htaccess solution with no luck. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn’t help either. * Any other ideas? * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952536) * See if you can load [http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/images/database.png](http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/images/database.png), if not check your htaccess in /wp-content/ folder. That is all I can think of. * [pmcasey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pmcasey/) * (@pmcasey) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952537) * [@gamerz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/): Figured it out. Yep, I’m a putz. Thanks for the help. * [calabartoday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calabartoday/) * (@calabartoday) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-missing-database-icon-for-wp-database-manager/#post-952563) * Scratched my head over this same problem and started looking all over for the. htaccess file. Finally found it in the WordPress folder…copied it into the backup- db folder and the warning message went poof!
