I recently installed Koha 20.11 and am having a problem with finding or enabling plugins. There seems to be a big shift in this latest version. Most guides online refer to plugins in older Koha versions. Someone kindly assist with this. I am particularly interested in emailer plugins among others.
Hi, 20.11 has only been released a few weeks ago. It's likely that plugins will work with it, even if they might be listed/documented for earlier versions. It appears the patron-emailer from Bywater has just had a release a few days ago and from its metadata should work with 20.11: https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-patron-emailer/releases Did you try specific ones and found them not working or did they not install? Please note that any necessary changes/updates to the plugins will have to be done by their developers/maintainers as they are not part of the Koha software itself.

Hi, Thank you. I had installed Koha 19.05. So when I installed koha 20.11 and restored backup from Koha 19.05, I am not able to see the plugin option under "Tools" so I cannot even add plugin. I had no plugin activated in my previous installation. Could restoration of backup to new koha have imported the settings for plugins as well?

Hi Nelson, Do you have the plugin option enabled (set to 1) in the koha-conf.xml file? Lennon On 12/17/20 1:51 AM, Nelson Mwirigi wrote:

Excerpts from Nelson Mwirigi's message of 2020-12-17 09:51:27 +0300:
Thank you. I had installed Koha 19.05. So when I installed koha 20.11 and restored backup from Koha 19.05, I am not able to see the plugin option under "Tools" so I cannot even add plugin.
This confused me for a couple of weeks until a helpful developer pointed out to me that the link for adding plugins was removed from the Tools home page and moved to the Administration home page: there's a "Manage plugins" link on the left side at the bottom. -- I am unconditionally guaranteed to be full of defects. --Ashleigh Brilliant
Hi Lennon and Mark, The plugin option is set to (1) as appropriate in the koha-conf.xml file. "Manage plugins" is not available at the bottom of the Administration page. Kind regards On Thu, Dec 17, 2020 at 4:07 PM Mark Alexander <marka@pobox.com> wrote:

Hi Nelson, as you are on an older version there are 2 more things to check: - Is the system preference UseKohaPlugins configured correctly? - Does your patron account have the necessary permissions to access plugins? Hope this helps, Katrin On 17.12.20 20:40, Nelson Mwirigi wrote:
