WordPress don’t have plugin tab on dashboard

I’m logged in as the administrator,
my site is self-hosted (the url is www.domain.com )

  1. Since your site is self-hosted, you can navigate to the folder wp-content -> plugins and add “zzzzz_” to the front of all plugins. This will disable all plugins without breaking anything. From there, see if your Plugins tab returns in the WordPress backend. If nothing happens, change the naming structure back.

    After that, you’ll want to download all of the files from your theme, which can be found in wp-content -> themes -> YOUR_THEME_NAME. From there, download the files, and KEEP A BACKUP. The file you’ll be looking for in your theme is functions.php. Use CTRL + F (or whatever the search is in your favorite text editor) and find remove_menu_page( or add_action('admin_menu'. You’ll want to look for something referencing plugins. This site has some information on how to remove the plugins tab. There should be code using some of these functions specifically set to remove the plugins menu from your admin.
