Title: Admin Menu Link Problem Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Admin Menu Link Problem * [wolfsbane](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolfsbane/) * (@wolfsbane) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-menu-link-problem/) * Hi, * In my Admin page, the link on the Tab “Dashboard” is pointing to [http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=index.php](http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=index.php) instead of wp-admin/index.php. * This is redirecting to the blank file index.php in the wp-content/plugins folder that I had placed to prevent listing the content of the plugins directory. * What do i do to rectify this? I am on FF 2 and Win Xp if that helps. * thanks, Vijay Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-menu-link-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-menu-link-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [wolfsbane](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolfsbane/) * (@wolfsbane) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-menu-link-problem/#post-687814) * Any suggestions pls? * Thread Starter [wolfsbane](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wolfsbane/) * (@wolfsbane) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-menu-link-problem/#post-688159) * This problem still remains unsolved..

I have some custom code that lives outside the wp-admin folder, and its linked to correctly in menu.php it spits out a page with a form on it. At the top of the page I use: to pull in the wordpress admin menu, but its not pulling in my plugin menu items (specifically cforms II) any suggestions? * [searchen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/searchen/) * (@searchen) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-menu-link-problem/#post-688239) * whooami: you refer to an index file in the plugins directory… I don’t have such a file.
