Menu does not display

WP 6.2.2 and PHP 8.1. After installed, don’t know how to access the plugin, the Menu link does not display anywhere.

5/5 – This does exactly what it says and nothing more

Great plugin! This is a lot better than just leaving a phpinfo.php file on a site that’s easy to forget about. Thanks for making this!
