Plugins don't show up in Admin menu after child install

Hi,

I’ll try to keep this as simple as possible. I originally made a few changes to my parent sheet – nothing big, just a few color changes and font changes. I read about child themes/wordpress updates and thought it would be a good idea to start using one. I used a plugin (Child Theme Configurator) to assist me in doing so. Everything seems to be working fine, except that ANY plugins that I have downloaded after the WordPress Update and the Child theme are currently not displaying in my left admin menu on the dashboard. Basically, I download a plugin, activate it, and then can’t find it anywhere in my dashboard, posts, or pages. It seems like it’s more of a display issue rather than the plugin itself. I think that it has something to do with the rest of the .CSS files that may not have transferred when I changed to the new child theme. I’ve attached a picture of an example – it is showing the child theme and showing that only the style.css sheet transferred. Could someone please test why the plugins won’t display? Feel free to download any plugins, edit, or do whatever you need to do in order to test. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
