So, yeah, while I was selecting what plugin to disable, I ticked something - which after editor restart, I can’t see the plugin browser anymore. Where/how to enable it again? Thnx XD

Hey JasonKng, it seems the quickest fix is export a project setting where the plugin browser is enabled to your project-plugin-disabled.

It would be great if someone could answer this. Additionally, I am not seeing the plugin wizard - which was why I was attempting to disable/enable various plugin-related plugins. If anyone can address these issues, that would be really appreciated.

Hi RynerAJ, I tried deleting my project’s and UnrealEngine’s Saved/DerivedDataCache/Intermediate/Config folders (which should have reinitialized pretty much everything) without success. I’m not sure what you were describing.

When the PluginBrowser has been disabled, it is noted in the .UPROJECT file. That is where it can be renabled.

There’s no need to delete any folder. Try this;

  1. create new fresh project
  2. go to project settings of the new project
  3. click export - export it to your project that has plugin browser disabled

Ah, O.K. Thanks!

Apparently the Plugin Wizard doesn’t show up for “Content Only Projects” which was what I was doing my test with.

To expand upon this:

Open your project’s .uproject file using notepad or equivalent app, and under

	"Plugins": [

look for

		{
			"Name": "PluginBrowser",
			"Enabled": false
		},

and change false to true
