Can’t see item for ThirstyAffiliates in dashboard menu

Hi @philip2041,

Are you using standard WP or multisite?

If the menu item is not showing that is definitely a plugin or theme conflict.

Would you be able to try the following?

1. Deactivate all plugins other than ThirstyAffiliates
2. Switch them back to a default theme like TwentySeventeen
3. If the problem goes away, reactivate the theme
4. If it wasn’t the theme it will be a plugin conflict, try re-activating plugins one by one until you find the culprit.

Let me know how you go!

Thanks @jkohlbach,
I’m using standard wp not multisites.
The method you said is a little difficult to do, as my site has tens of plugins, I can’t deactivate all of them, but I agree with you that the problem is because of a plugin conflict. Your plugin itself is not bad, it works well in other sites of mine.
And I still have a question: Does your plugin modify the robot.txt file? Do I still need to add text to robot.txt file in an effort to disallow bot access to the folder for redirecting affiliate links?

Hey @philip2041,

Hmm, I understand. Can be tricky when its a big site.

Two options:

1. You might be able to get away with spot checking a single plugin at a time.
2. Create a staging site

To answer your last question, yes we now alter robots.txt to prevent crawling. We’re also actively filtering bot clicks too.

I see, thanks very much for your answers!
