Troubleshooting

Troubleshoot a missing TaxPack admin menu

The TaxPack menu may be absent when the plugin or WooCommerce is inactive, or when the user lacks permission.

Inspect the source record

Check Plugins for both active plugins and inspect the signed-in user's WooCommerce management role.

Build a focused report

Activate the required plugins through normal WordPress administration or use an authorized shop-manager account.

Read the result

Once available, the menu sits under WooCommerce and exposes Tax summary, Rate mappings, and How reports work.

A concrete example

A customer login can see storefront orders but should not see TaxPack's admin reporting controls.

Avoid this mistaken conclusion

Do not grant broad administrator access solely to make the menu appear. Diagnose plugin state and capability first.
