Fix a DeluxeMenus item missing from a specific slot

Applies to: DeluxeMenus; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked 9 November 2026.

A blank slot can result from a hidden item rather than an invalid material. Isolate the slot and the viewer conditions before changing the menu size or replacing its whole item section.

Prepare the test

Work on a copy of one menu while the existing player route remains available. Use ordinary test accounts to check requirements; an administrator can bypass checks that affect your players.

Make the change

Copy the menu and record its inventory type, size and target slot. Compare those values with the installed release’s GUI and item documentation rather than guessing how a different inventory numbers slots.
List every configured item that can occupy that slot. Check each item’s view requirements and priority so you can identify which version should appear for the test account.
Replace only the test item’s display with a simple supported material and fixed label. Leave rewarding click actions disabled in this copy while deciding whether the item renders.
Open the copy as an ordinary player and then as the alternate rank. Add placeholders and conditional versions back one at a time, checking the slot after each supported refresh.

Check the result

The slot should show the intended item for each viewer condition without covering a different button. Test all configured menu pages that reuse the same slot number before approving the change.

If the test fails

Restore the original item section if the simplified test still fails and inspect the first menu parsing error. Keep the working public menu intact; deleting other items can hide the collision without explaining it.

A conditionally hidden item can be correct behaviour. Write down which account should see which version so future changes preserve the intended selection.
