 * Hello,
 * I need to update my header and footer code, but I cannot find it in the sidebar.
   When I click on the link from the plugin page I receive a 404 error. The output
   of my code is still working which is good, but I am unable to access the plugin
   to make much needed updates.
 * Is this something that you could assist with?

 * Hi [@pbjgameproductions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbjgameproductions/),
 * Sorry about the confusion – from what you are describing you might have enabled
   Headers & Footers mode only. If that’s the case, you should find the settings
   under wp-admin > Settings > Header & Footer.

 * Hi [@gripgrip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gripgrip/),
 * I had this plugin before it apparently changed names. I did not touch it for 
   a while. Header & Footer no longer appears in the WordPress admin unless I review
   the plugins page for what I have downloaded. There are no options to enable or
   disable. When I click on Code Snippets on the plugin page, the page reloads to
   this “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.” Why would that happen 
   when I am the admin? Is it because I am using incognito mode or is there an issue
   with the code that hides the plugin from the menu?

 * I figured out the issue. Whenever there was an update the plugin must have been
   stuck. It worked after I deactivated and reactivated.

 * Hi [@pbjgameproductions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pbjgameproductions/),
 * Thank you for the update. Yes, one of the previous versions had an issue in some
   cases where reactivating the plugin fixed the permissions.
