 * Hi,
    there is a bug with Submissions page when site language is not English.
 * The problem is in NF_Admin_Menus_Submissions class at line 70
 *     ```
       /**
       	 * enqueue scripts here
       	 */
       	public function enqueue_scripts( $page ) {
       		// let's check and make sure we're on the submissions page.
       		if( isset( $page ) && "ninja-forms_page_nf-submissions" === $page ) {
       ```
   
 * When I set site language to Finnish `$page` becomes _ninja-lomakkeet\_page\_nf-
   submissions_ and Submissions page is empty.
 * I’m using the latest (3.6.2) version of plugin.

 * Same thing happens on Danish language site – can’t access the submission page
   even as admin

 * I can confirm this – except that the page is blank with Admin IDs regardless 
   of which language is selected in the top bar of the page (Polylang)

 * Problem is still there with 3.6.3 version

 * This may be due to the fact that as of Ninja Forms > 3.6.1, they’ve moved away
   from using the WordPress Posts Editor (for the custom nf_sub post type) in favor
   of a new custom admin page for the submissions — and somehow neglected to detail
   this in the release notes.
 * For example, the old submissions page/editor was found at the url of _/wp-admin/
   edit.php?post\_type=nf\_sub_ (initial page for listing all forms) OR _/wp-admin/
   edit.php?post\_status=all&post\_type=nf\_sub&form\_id=#&nf\_form\_filter&paged
   =1 _for a specific form (where # in the url is the ID related to the form)
 * This update now utilizes a **custom admin page **at the URL of _/wp-admin/admin.
   php?page=nf-submissions_ (initial page for listing all forms) OR _/wp-admin/admin.
   php?page=nf-submissions&form\_id=#_ for a specific form.
 * Note that this new custom admin page for Ninja Forms Submissions actually utilizes**
   ninja-forms-submissions/submissions/get** REST API endpoint for populating this
   page with submission data, and this is where you’re likely now having issues,
   as the default requirements for accessing this endpoint rely on the user’s assigned
   role having the **manage_options** permission.
 * You can, however, override this behavior by use of some new filters, as per: 
   [https://gist.github.com/New0/06d5b7664a8cfbb256a13bc68de0aa98#gistcomment-3931738](https://gist.github.com/New0/06d5b7664a8cfbb256a13bc68de0aa98#gistcomment-3931738)
 * Another issue I ran into was in regards to some **custom metaboxes** that I’ve
   added to the submissions post editor_ (via **add\_meta\_boxes **actions)_ no 
   longer work, due to the wordpress post editor no longer being utilized, and instead
   submissions are being loading in a custom “popup modal” editor — I’m developing
   my own work around for this currently, which is a bit “hacky” to say the least,
   but is the only way I can figure out how to do so unless a developer for Ninja
   Forms can shed light on how to customize the submission “modals” under this new
   admin page.
 * Hopefully this helps! It certainly threw me off last week and has taken me serveral
   days to adapt to this latest update of Ninja Forms (with development still ongoing)—
   after almost 5 years of it functioning great without any of these issues prior
   to this!
 * I would just like to say to the developers that **changes of this magnatitude
   should always be detailed in the release notes**, so that users aren’t left scratching
   thier heads as to why nothing is functional like it was prior to the latest update

 * Most of what ouija writes, makes no sense to me….
 * I don’t want all kind of fancy scripts and API etc – I just want a button to 
   press in the admin menu, so I can see all the submissions, without adding any
   kind of code myself.
 * Just like it has worked so far

 * I’m not 100% certain if this is the underlying cause of issues related to no 
   submissions being displayed for other languages, but submissions not being displayed
   for me were related to admin users with any other role than “administrator”, 
   and unfortunetly, as of Ninja Forms 3.6.1 or greater, you’ll need to add a filter
   to your functions.php if you too are experiencing the same issue.
 * Alternativly, you could also install the [User Role Editor](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/)
   plugin and modify whatever role you need to have this **manage_options** permission:

 * Again, I cannot confirm if this will fix the issue with no submissions appearing
   for differenct languages, but this may help. Otherwise, there may be an issue
   with special characters being returned via the REST API method that is now being
   utilized, which is breaking the code from rendering (resulting in no submissions
   appearing)

 * I am admin on the page, and as admin, i can’t see any submissions after the updates…

 * I can confirm that in version 3.6.3 the problem still persists. And now this 
   is a site with no Polylang or other language plugins in use.

 * I’m not sure if this is the same problem, but downloads of form submissions with
   associated Stripe payments no longer include the payment data fields. As payments
   are sometimes incomplete or rejected, it’s important to see the payment fields
   in the bulk submission downloads. (Using 3.6.3)

 * Can confirm same issue as [@slnikohamalainen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slnikohamalainen/)
   say) on a Danish installation of WP
 * Danish installaton pages use this name: ninja-formularer_page_nf-submissions
   
   NOT: ninja-forms_page_nf-submissions
 * I fixed it on my page doing this:
    `if( isset( $page ) && "ninja-".strtolower(
   __("Forms", 'ninja-forms'))."_page_nf-submissions" === $page ) {`
 * Instead of:
    `if( isset( $page ) && "ninja-forms_page_nf-submissions" === $page){`

 * I am having the same issue on a website that is Danish and English. Changing 
   the site language under Settings/General to English (UK) solves the problem.
 * I also tried the code from [@dicmdk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dicmdk/)
   and it works to.
 * Hope this issue is solved by the next update.

 * 3.6.4 update still didn’t solve the issue.
 * Are the developers even reading this page, since we haven’t seen any reply from
   them at any point…?

 * Yes, they do have _someone _reading this page — Bugfixes and releases take time,
   don’t be so entitled to expect an update or response asap 🙂 There were some **
   major changes** done recently, and unfortunetly, not all of the kinks have been
   worked out, apparently.
 * Revert back to version 3.6.1 or earlier if need be…
