# Why is my Add-ons page empty?

> Browser extensions may auto-fill the Find add-on... field, filtering out all add-ons and making the page appear empty. Delete any auto-filled text in the search field to reveal your add-ons.

When the Add-ons page appears empty even though you have add-ons installed, it's usually caused by browser password managers auto-filling the search field.

## What You'll Learn

* Why add-ons appear to be missing
* How to reveal hidden add-ons

## Prerequisites

## Why This Happens

Browser password managers sometimes misidentify the Search and API Key fields as username/password fields. When they auto-fill these fields with saved credentials, the search filter applies to your add-on list.

Since your auto-filled username likely doesn't match any add-on name, all add-ons are filtered out and the page appears empty.

This is more common when your API key hasn't been saved yet.

## Prevent Auto-Fill Issues

### Option 1: Exclude MainWP from Password Manager

Configure your browser's password manager to not save or fill credentials for your MainWP Dashboard URL.

### Option 2: Use a Different Browser

If you consistently experience this issue, try accessing your Dashboard with a different browser or in incognito/private mode.

### Option 3: Disable Browser Auto-Fill

Temporarily disable your browser's auto-fill feature when working in MainWP:

| Browser | How to Disable |
| - | - |
| Chrome | Settings > Autofill > Passwords > Toggle off |
| Firefox | Settings > Privacy & Security > Logins and Passwords |
| Safari | Preferences > Auto-fill |
| Edge | Settings > Profiles > Passwords |

## Add-ons Still Missing?

If clearing the search field doesn't reveal your add-ons:

| Issue | Solution |
| - | - |
| Add-ons not installed | Install from **WP Admin > Plugins > Add New** |
| Add-ons deactivated | Activate on **WP Admin > Plugins** page |
| Wrong Dashboard site | Verify you're logged into the correct Dashboard |
| Browser cache | Clear browser cache and refresh |
