# Plugin cannot be added to Side menu

 * Hello,
 * I’ve installed a new plugin that was supposed to appear automatically in the 
   sidebar. It did not. In the WP Admin UI Customize sidebar sub-menu, it appears
   on the right. Any of the new plugin’s submenu items can be dragged to the sidebar,
   but the main plugin menu heading cannot.
 * When I de-activate WP Admin UI Customize, the new plugin appears correctly in
   the sidebar.
 * Why can’t I drag the entire new plugin to the sidebar menu?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Gone South,
 * Thank you for your feedback.
 * > Why can’t I drag the entire new plugin to the sidebar menu?
 * I think your problem is maybe,
    - Javascript error(Other plugins or your using theme)
    - Web browser(Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari…etc)
 * Could you please try to belows?
    - Change web browser
    - Temporary deactive the other plugins
    - Change the default theme
    - Check the console log of Developer tools(Google Chrome, Firefox…etc)
 * Thanks,

 * Hi,
 * Sorry… let this one slide for a while.
 * I changed the web browser from Chrome to Safari, but the problem persists. Deactivated
   all other plugins, but still the problem persists. I can’t change the theme, 
   but it’s a Genesis child theme, so should be rock solid. Not technical enough
   to check the console log.
 * Any other ideas? Thanks.
 * Eric
