 * Hello,
 * plugin version 7.5.6 but also seeing this in 7.5.5.
 * wordpress version 5.8.1
 * I’m a super admin of a multi site, with wordfence installed and has been installed
   for a very long time. typically if I login with my super admin account and go
   to my sites–> network admin –> dashboard I’ll see the wordfence navigation link
   in the left sidebar. Well that link is no longer there. The plugin is activated
   and 2FA is still working so I know it’s activated and working.
 * could someone please help or at least give me the URL that will get me to the
   wordfence dashboard so I can at least confirm that it’s just a sidebar issue?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@pm1932](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pm1932/),
 * The url to the dashboard will be: `www . yoursite . com /wp-admin/admin.php?page
   =Wordfence`
 * Let me know what you find, of course I’ll be happy to help further but it would
   certainly be good to know if the URL is available despite not being shown in 
   the sidebar.
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.

 * so I can access my 2FA settings at `/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=WFLS` but
 * `/wp-admin/admin.php?page=Wordfence`
    and `/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=Wordfence`
   give me:
 * “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”
 * I am a super admin so I’m not sure where to go from here.
 * EDIT: I also checked with another network super admin and they are seeing the
   same

 * I ended up solving this by simply deactivating the plugin and activating it again.
