Problem Description
The Auth0 plugin is installed and appears in the plugins directory but does not show up in the WordPress admin panel for activation.
Operating System:

- Version: 11 (bullseye)
PHP Configuration:
- Version: 8.2.13
- memory_limit: 512M
- upload_max_filesize: 80M
- post_max_size: 80M
Database:

Other Relevant Directories:

- Plugins Directory: /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/plugins
- Vendor Directory (within plugins): /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/vendor
Plugin Details:
/opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
├── auth0 → …/vendor/auth0/wordpress (symbolic link)
└── vendor
├── auth0
│ ├── auth0-php
│ └── wordpress
├── autoload.php
├── bin
├── composer
├── nyholm
├── php-http
├── psr
├── psr-discovery
└── symfony
I ran it from the wp-content/plugins sub-directory.
composer require symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7 auth0/wordpress:^5.0
edit: corrected tree path
Hi @seranca, thanks for the detailed breakdown. Can you please open a shell, cd into wp-content/plugins/auth0, run composer install and see if that changes anything for you?
There is no folder Auth0, I made a symbolic link to try to make wordpress recognize the plugin.
plugins/auth0 points to /vendor/auth0
auth0 → …/vendor/auth0/wordpress
I run composer install but it won’t do anything as it is already installed
@evansims Thanks for your help. I solve it by restarting the apache server.
sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
Hi, for anyone wondering.
The problem lies because Wordpress won’t detect the plugin. So creating a symbolic link or creating a custom Plugin Loader which summons Auth0 might do the trick
Hi @seranca 
Glad you got it sorted out!
A custom plugin loader and/or symlink should not be at all necessary, but the particular configuration of the server software you’re using may have unique constraints around it’s PHP search pathing. I only note it here as a caution, as that would not be one-size-fits-all advice to follow.
