    Ok, I went and installed the plugin on an older website I have which is running WP 5.8 and it installed just fine. So I’m guessing its a compatibility issue with 5.9 and I just have to wait for you to release an update. I saw a note elsewhere on the forum that you are focusing on Wallet6 so maybe you are already on top of this.

    Hope to hear from you. Standing by!

    Hello,

    The plugin should be compatible with 5.9.

    The issue with the menu not showing is most likely one that I have encountered before, but I’m not sure under what conditions it arises:

    If you have installed and activated the plugin, but you still don’t see the Wallets menu (and admin warning messages), then the most likely problem is that your admin user does not have the “manage_wallets” capability.

    Normally, this capability is automatically assigned to admin users and to the Administrator role, when the plugin is first activated. So, try to deactivate and re-activate the plugin.

    Some times this fails. You can use any plugin that’s suitable for editing capabilities and assign “manage_wallets” to the Administrator user role. This will resolve the issue. A good plugin for this job is https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/

    Simply navigate to Users -> User Role Editor and select the “Administrator (administrator)” role. Click on “add capability” and type “manage_wallets”.

    If you want to achieve the same via the wp-cli, you can issue the following command in the unix shell of your WordPress server:

    wp cap add administrator manage_wallets

    Hope this helps.

    Please let me know if this didn’t help. If you have any other questions about the plugins please open a new thread.

    with regards

    It worked. The plugin must have heard that I contacted its maker and it decided to behave. Third times the charm.

    Well, not sure if the plugin saw our discussion, it’s always a possibility!

    But there is some code in there that heals the capabilities if they are not correct:

    with regards
