# Tags link under Posts missing when using custom admin menu

 * When using a custom admin menu, the Tags link under Posts does not show. I tried
   setting to a specific user that has Editor privileges and also setting to Editor
   role. Once the custom menu is removed the link shows up again. The Posts section
   in the custom menu is untouched.

 * Hi [@nj450n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nj450n/),
 * I can repeat this on my end. It will take me some time to troubleshoot this properly,
   but in the mean time, what I would recommend is just creating a custom menu item
   called tags and have it point to the tags page and this will work. So you will
   have Tags twice in the menu on the edit menu page, but on the actual menu the
   editor sees it will just show once.

 * Any headway on this? I’m having the same issue with missing Tags.

 * Hi [@zoinks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoinks/),
 * I still recommend the workaround solution mentioned in my previous comment for
   now. Unfortunately my resources have been stretched the last few months so I 
   haven’t had the time I would like to work on the free plugin. Thanks,
