# Slimstat menu doesn’t show

 * My site has the latest Slimstat 4.8.8.1, but I can’t find the admin menu mentioned
   in the knowledgebase anywhere. It used to be there, but I haven’t been to the
   site in awhile.
    So I tried looking on my localhost copy of the site, which had
   old versions of everything. The Slimstat there was not activated, and was 4.6.
   something. I activated it and I see the admin menu like I should. When I updated
   it to 4.8.8.1, the admin menu no longer shows.

 * If you like, you can temporarily install and enable the “Query Monitor” plugin
   by John Blackbourn. It shows you errors in the admin bar.
 * Maybe you hit the same bug as in [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/you-have-an-error-in-your-sql-syntax-22/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/you-have-an-error-in-your-sql-syntax-22/)

 * Hey, thanks for looking! But that is not my issue. Because of your other reply
   though, I installed Query Monitor and was looking for it in the admin bar, so
   I saw the SlimStats link in the admin bar!
    It was invisible to me before since
   I never look at the admin bar. So I was able to go into the SlimStat settings
   and turn off the admin bar usage, so now I have the normal admin menu back again!
   Thank you for taking the blindfold off.
 * By the way, (to the plugin author), I think this is a very bad default. And it
   should have been an easy support question to answer when I posted 7 weeks ago.

 * Glad you found it.
 * Seems the author has some serious issues, since he didn’t respond since a few
   months (very unusual).
 * Therefore I implement important fixes into [https://github.com/slimstat/wp-slimstat/pull/5](https://github.com/slimstat/wp-slimstat/pull/5)
   I need myself, so others can have a temporary fix until Jason is back.
