Title: Settings Menu Is Missing Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Settings Menu Is Missing * Resolved [VCRAdmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vcradmin/) * (@vcradmin) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/settings-menu-is-missing/) * Link Library 5.8.5.5 has been installed on an existing WP 3.9.1 install – and the Link Library Settings Menu is missing (it does not appear in the main WP Admin menus… or under the Settings Menu or in any of the submenus). * The “Links” menu IS there… and everything seems to be working (I’ve added links and categories) — and the Link Library moderation panel is in the dashboard area. But, there is NO Link Library Settings Menu in the Admin Area at all. * Everything else is working properly (I have a modern, responsive Theme: Magazine Premium) – and all other plugins are up to date and compatible with WP 3.9.1 ( I’ve been very careful in selecting the best supported, most current, and most popular plugins). * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-library/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-library/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/settings-menu-is-missing/#post-5097259) * This is an interesting one. Do you have any plugin in place whose job is to ‘ clean up’ the admin area menu? * When you create links, are the additional sections provided by Link Library present? * Thread Starter [VCRAdmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vcradmin/) * (@vcradmin) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/settings-menu-is-missing/#post-5097277) * I have turned off all unessential plugins (not necessary for site operation) – and have alternately tried turning others on and off to see if it would make a difference (haven’t disabled all, however – or tried switching themes yet). * The only plugin I have that affected Admin menus at all was Admin Bar Disabler– which is only directed at the admin bar that’s present at the top of the viewed website pages for logged-in admins (but it has never had any affect on the admin area backend). And yes, I tried disabling that… with no difference. Also cleared the various caches often, along the way. * When I created links under the links menu (which is there) – all the settings for creating the links are there… and the links show up in the list. Same thing for the link categories… everything seems fine. The ONLY thing that’s going on from what I can tell is that the Link Library Menu Tab (plugin settings in the Admin area) – are completely missing. * Let me know what else I can to to help solve this… * Thanks! * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/settings-menu-is-missing/#post-5097462) * If you can create a test account on your site for me, with admin rights, then I can login and try to figure out what is happening.

When I turn off that plugin… the Link Library menu returns, with all functions. * Is there a way to “rename” the Menu Title for Link Library to, perhaps something like ” WP Link Library ” — so that it would sort to a different location in the admin menu? (just guessing here). * —> NOTE: I need to use DAP — as it’s the eCommerce backbone to the site I’m building. So, ideally, we can find a workaround… because I really want to use Link Library as well. * Thanks, Yannick! * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/settings-menu-is-missing/#post-5097482) * I checked the Link Library code and it does not specify a place in the menu to appear. It just called the WordPress API add_menu_page function, and WordPress should be taking care of placing it in the menu. Now, that being said, perhaps the issue is in your other plugin. Perhaps they did something to try to make sure that they show up as the first plugin admin menu. * A few ideas: * – Contact the DAP plugin author and ask if they do anything special to position themselves in the options menu – Try to rename the LinkLibrary plugin folder to something like zLinkLibrary. By having a later letter in alphabet, might get loaded later. – Open the source code for the file link_library_admin.php in the plugin and edit line 24: * add_action(‘admin_menu’, array($this, ‘on_admin_menu’)); * to add a load priority: * add_action(‘admin_menu’, array($this, ‘on_admin_menu’), 100); * See if that helps. * Thread Starter [VCRAdmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vcradmin/) * (@vcradmin) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/settings-menu-is-missing/#post-5097492) * Hi again… * O.K., started with your suggestions by changing the plugin folder name, but that just deactivated the plugin (removed all menus). Changed the folder name back… and then noticed the most recent Link Library plugin update (5.8.5.7) – so I went ahead and updated. * Now the menu has appeared at the bottom of the admin menu list… and everything appears to be available in the submenus and working. So, not sure if you added something to the update that affected the admin menu – but, at this point, everything seems in order here so far. * Thanks! * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/settings-menu-is-missing/#post-5097497) * I did not do anything particular to this menu issue, but glad that things got resolved.
