Plugins admin menus showing but not the plug ins

    My multisite and plugins were working fine until I had to un-install and re-install some plugins in order to update them. Ever since I did this NONE of my plugins are working correctly. They appear in the admin menus of sub-sites but some of the plugins are not listed in the plugins menu/list of the subsites even though they are activated in the main network site. All of my content for these plugins is there but can not post to the front end. Basically this has killed my whole site as most of it is in content items as part of plug-ins.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Hey there,

    Sorry to hear you are having trouble! Sounds like some weird stuff happening especially because you had to un-install and then re-install some plugins in order to even update them. Why did you have to do this? What happened when you tried updating them normally?

    And not sure what you mean by all content of plugins are there but “can not post to the front end” Would be glad to help just need more info! ??

    Hi thanks for your response! The update instructions required deleting the old plugins and then uploaded the new versions. Don’t know why. It was a download for a paid theme.

    To better explain, an example is my events calendar plugin. In the dashboard I have my events management and so can create events, etc. but the frontend shows the events page with error “no content found” though the events pages exist and otherwise function. all my plugins are like this. They seem to function but do not on frontend. On my sites dashboard when I click plugins, i see all my plugins and they are activated for the network. But when I go into a specific site they are not in the list of plugins (that said, some plugins do work and are there) I am not a developer at all so a problem like this completely blocks me! I have no idea what to do!
    thannks

    I think I fixed it… though it was just newbie dumb luck. I actually network de-activated the plugins and then they appeared in the sub-site with an activate link so I activated there. Perhaps I just misunderstand multisites? I thought network activate made them visible to all the sites? Sounds fishy to me and worries me but… as my site is working again I guess i will just cross my fingers and hope for the best!

    No. Network Activate turns a plugin ON for all sites on your network.

    This is different than themes, which Network Enable a theme and make them visible for all sites.
