Title: Missing admin menu Last modified: October 29, 2016 --- # Missing admin menu * Resolved [Austin Ginder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/austinginder/) * (@austinginder) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/) * Typically on the backend there is TablePress admin menu like so: [https://cloudup.com/cqq2mJiVhEz](https://cloudup.com/cqq2mJiVhEz) with a directly link to it from the plugins: [https://cloudup.com/cB-TsbBFdLv](https://cloudup.com/cB-TsbBFdLv) however on one of my websites there is no admin menu link nor a link from the plugins: [https://cloudup.com/cq9a0WXFJ8c](https://cloudup.com/cq9a0WXFJ8c). When I go to /wp-admin/admin.php?page=tablepress directly it gives me an error: Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page. Here is a list of everything I tried so far. - Cloned the site to staging and disabled all plugins and activated a default theme - Enabled WP Debug, not seeing any errors - Not seeing any JS errors - Reinstalled plugin v1.7 manually * Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

It would be sufficient to delete the `tablepress_user_options` entry in the `wp_usermeta` database table for that user’s ID. * Regards, Tobias * [astevens93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astevens93/) * (@astevens93) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/page/2/#post-8608894) * Hi Tobias, sorry for the slow response.

I looked for the tablepress options in Options.php but it is not there. I also do not find TablePress options in the Pages editor * Any suggestions? I am the only user, and it is an administrator role. * Thanks in advance * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/page/2/#post-9058619) * Hi, * If possible, I’d like to take a direct look at this on your site. Could you therefore please create a temporary admin account for me and send me the details via email( the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)? That way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks! * Regards, Tobias * [sunni148](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunni148/) * (@sunni148) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/page/2/#post-9524554) * I new to WordPress – helping out a non-profit and I do not see an admin option. Trying to set-up automatic updates and cannot find the admin option to set this up. Running You are using WordPress 3.2.1. * Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/page/2/#post-9527505) * Hi, * are you really using WordPress 3.2.1? That is totally outdated. You should set up a new site with the latest WordPress 4.8.2. * Regards, Tobias * [sunni148](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunni148/) * (@sunni148) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/page/2/#post-9528297) * As I said I inherited this and yes that is what I’m trying to do but there is admin function to download the update. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/page/2/#post-9528470) * Hi, * TablePress is not compatible to a WordPress version that old. You should export your posts/pages/etc. to a XML file in WordPress, set up a new site and then re-import it. Everything else would be very insecure. * When you then have installed the lastest WordPress, you can install TablePress as well. * Regards, Tobias * [sunni148](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunni148/) * (@sunni148) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/page/2/#post-9528568) * Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I;m not that versed in WordPress. Do you know anyone that can do this for a fee or is there documentation? Don’t want to lose all the content. * Thanks. * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/page/2/#post-9528688) * Hi, * please see e.g. [https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page](https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page) for some Documentation. Otherwise, you can also ask in the main support forums at [https://wordpress.org/support/](https://wordpress.org/support/) * Regards, Tobias Viewing 11 replies - 16 through 26 (of 26 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/?output_format=md) 2 The topic ‘Missing admin menu’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/icon.svg?rev=3192944) * [TablePress - Tables in WordPress made easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress/reviews/) * 26 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * Last activity: [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-menu/page/2/#post-9528688) * Status: resolved
