Hi @warriorsoul15,

Thanks for reaching out — and sorry you’re having trouble getting plugins to work!

Just a quick heads-up: this issue tracker is intended for bugs and feature requests related to the NetBox core. For help with plugin installation or configuration, we recommend using the Discussions section with the “Help wanted” tag - it’s a great place to get support from the community.

That said, the error you’re seeing often happens when the plugin is not installed in the virtual environment that NetBox uses. To check this, activate your NetBox virtual environment and reinstall the plugin:

source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
pip install netbox-floorplan

Also, make sure your configuration.py includes the plugin like this:

Example for ACL


PLUGINS = [
    "netbox_acls"
]

PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    "netbox_acls": {
        "top_level_menu": True,
    },
}

Once that’s done, restart your NetBox application server and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps. Move this to Discussions for more in-depth troubleshooting.
