Hi,

Seems I have access to plugin development as I am able to switch on “Open plugin devtools” in settings. “Please enable a localhost plugin to use devtools.” message appears when I switch it on.

Please see my user interface.

My ChatGPT plus UI allows me to choose between GPT 3.5 and 4.0 only - no plugins options there are.  
Q1: Does it make sense that I don’t have access to the plugins store while having access to plugin development ?  
Q2: How I enable a localhost plugin ? Tried to run the quick demo on port 5003 w/o effect.  
Thanks!

If you hover over “GPT-4”, you should (hopefully) see an option to use plugins

Thanks for the reply, but the answer is still no:

Hmmm… did you enable Plugins in settings? (click on your username on the bottom-left screen)

I have the same problem (missing Plugin option from hover menu), but only with Chat History & Training disabled. Is this possibly related to that setting? I can access plugins with that enabled but I want to protect the data received from my plugin.

Thanks for this reply. Indeed enabling chat history also enables the Plugin option in hover menu. Very helpful!

My Chat History & Training is enabled, but I still can’t access the plugin store (I did it before and activated some plugins).  
Anybody knows any solution for this bug?

I’ve got the same problem after installing 5 plugins ( only ones available ) I no longer see the plugin store? I’m a new user ( 3 weeks) so this has nothing to do with renewal.  
How do I fix this?

Hi and welcome to the developer forum!

If you scroll down to the bottom of your list of plugins, you will find the store at the bottom.

I have 5 plugins that I installed initially. After doing that, I no longer have a link to the store. Only to the plugins.

I just created a new account. First time I used it, I saw 5 pages of plugins in the store. I installed 3. Now when I go back to chatgpt, I have the 3 plugins, but no link back to the store to get more. ( same problem as the original account ) I must be missing something. Please help

You can try with Firefox browser, but the plugin store should be at the bottom of the list of plugins you have installed.

Solved!  
I reduced the zoom on the browser from 100% to 75%, and then I could see the store at the bottom of the list!

Just subscribed to plus. Enabled all 3 “Beta features” including Plugins. Enabled Chat History & Training. Still can’t see anything on the GPT-4 tab, no plugins or anything. Edit: I’m not sure if it was my bad or if it just took a while, but I can see it now when you hover over the tabs. Edit2: I think the UX could be improved by at least having a dropdown icon on the tab, and an explanation somewhere that you need to turn on Chat History & Training.
