No good answer for this. Please open a ticket on this here: http://go.cpanel.net/bugs

This is resolved: answer, from cpanel staff ticket:

Hello:

The Plugins section is not displayed until you install at least one plugin using Main >> cPanel >> Manage Plugins. If there are no plugins installed, there is no reason to have the Plugins section, since all it does is list the plugins you have installed.

Try installing a plugin using Manage Plugins, then log out of the WHM and log back in. The Plugins section will be listed.

GavoTrav,

That's correct. The "Pluggins" section is dynamically rendered. There are several WHM Pluggins, some offered by cPanel, but most are provided by others and must be installed via command line. Some hosting providers will have WHM Pluggins already installed for you when they lease you the server.

Sometimes these pluggins are referred to as WHM Addons. And for further confusion, the ones that cPanel offers on their mirrors can be found in WHM under "Main >> cPanel >> Manage Pluggins" (inferring that their utility will be limited to the cPanel end-user context, which is exactly true. We call such things "cPanel Pluggins" and they are entirely different in nature).

At any rate. It's like the technician said: If your newly provisioned server doesn't have any pluggins install, yet your old one did, you will see a discrepancy (like you've reported here) and you will need to install the...whatever they were.

Regards,

This explains it for me, thanks! One of the first things I do on a new server setup is, install my favorite Plugins of course.

Am I mistaken in thinking that this section used to exist but empty previously, David, or was this always dynamically rendered?
