Cannot get WP Workbench

I tried

Also, I have about 9 accounts with WordPress installs, but none of them were installed using the Virtualmin WP installer - does that matter?

Yes, but you would have to import them as described here:

WP Workbench version 1.0.2 released

Ah, I see what you mean—yes, we do have an option for this! You can use the Virtualmin CLI for this purpose: virtualmin detect-scripts --domain domain.tld --dir /home/domain/public_html/wordpress @ivanbg However, beware—there’s currently a tiny bug that will also import ClassicPress clone as WordPress installations. It’s not a big deal, though—you can manually find and delete the unwanted entry in the /etc/webmin/virtual-server/scriptlog directory. Just don’t use Virtualmin to remove/uninst…

That’s odd. Try running apt-get clean && apt-get update. If that doesn’t work, you can fetch the latest pre-release build and install it manually.

WP Workbench is only available in Pro repos.

@Joe

WP Workbench is only available in Pro repos.

Ah, that’s right! I completely missed that the OP is no longer a Pro subscriber. Well, perhaps it’s time to reconsider.

[Joe]

I’ve updated all of the News posts about WP Workbench to indicate it is in Pro repos only (I included that in the first post, but haven’t mentioned it in subsequent ones), so folks won’t be confused.

I´m in a pro version 7.30.8 of Virtualmin a couldn´t find it either. It is listed in Features and Plugins but not available in Manage Web Apps

[Joe]

Do you have WordPress installed in the domain you’re looking at?

And, what do you see when you click on WordPress in the list of installed Web Apps?

[shoulders]

Maybe it is time to have an installer for webmin plugins, then you identify the pro and gpl ones. Currently modules that are not used are under that unused menu.

webmin plugins

do you mean webmin modules or virtualmin plugins ? They are different for example WP Workbench is a virtualmin plugin found here

where as firewalld is a webmin module & if disabled will appear here

There is already an installer for Webmin plugins. It is your system package manager. Everything we do is packaged with the package manager for your OS (RPM or deb), and there is a Webmin module for installing packages (Software Packages) if you prefer that to the CLI.

balero says it is listed in Features and Plugins, though, so obviously the module is installed. That isn’t the problem they’re having.
