Plugins section not working properly

AI-generated summary

In the Support category under the topic “Plugins section not working properly” and tagged with rss-polling, user christian_01 reports that their plugins section is not functioning — clicking tabs yields blank pages, despite rebuilding three times. david asks if there are JavaScript console errors, which christian_01 confirms, revealing they installed the outdated discourse-wellfed plugin. david advises switching to the updated discourse-rss-polling plugin, available at https://github.com/discourse/discourse-rss-polling, and requests the source of the old plugin to prevent future confusion. Despite installing the correct plugin, christian_01 still doesn’t see the expected ‘Wellfed’ UI option in the plugins menu, even though the plugin appears installed. Stephen clarifies that rss-polling does not replicate the old Wellfed UI and suggests checking plugin settings. Surprisingly, christian_01 reports the menu option has now appeared without any changes on their part — it had been missing since installation on Friday. The issue appears resolved, though the cause of the delay remains unexplained.

Not sure what’s going on here, but my plug-ins section isn’t working. When you click a tab, no setting open up. Just blank! I have tried rebuilding 3 times.

Any ideas please?

Do you see any errors in your browser’s javascript console?

I am seeing this. I installed a plugin:

Where did you install the discourse-wellfed plugin from? It has now been superceded by GitHub - discourse/discourse-rss-polling · GitHub, so you should use that. If you can point me to where you found the old plugin we can try and get it updated to avoid confusion in future.

I’m still having an issue. I have installed the latest plugin as instructed above, but I’m not seeing the ‘Wellfed’ option in the left-hand column on my plugins page. So, I can’t input any RSS feeds.

Plugin docs screenshot:

My admin page:

Wellfed was superceded by rss-polling, I’m pretty sure rss-polling doesn’t have add anything related to the old Wellfed plug-in to the UI.

It’s clearly installed as your screenshot shows. Have you checked the plugin settings?

This is bizarre. I have no idea why - I haven’t touched anything - but the menu option has just appeared (it hasn’t been there since I installed on Friday).
