Update to J3.9 didn't install privacy tool or user actions log

[MarketingPDX]

Weird... I ran about 35 updates today. All went fine, except for one site, which updated to 3.9, but did not apparemtly install the privacy area or the user actions log. Both were missing from the User dropdown upon initial install. I later noticed that, if I went to "Discover", they were there. So, I discovered them & they're ok now. Just wanted to mention that, in case this happens to others. Could be a fluke thing, though...

You have to enable the plugin for user actions log for it to work.

This isn't what the OP said; they weren't actually installed and were found using the "discover" procedure. Not the same as having to enable the plugin (this and others), which is the expected behaviour.

All I can say is that my two site updates went ahead without error; I didn't have to use the "discover" process.

Ok try

go to extensions> manage> database> click fix database
go to extensions> manage> discover

and you should see all the privacy suite stuff there so tick the check boxes and click install

The OP said "discover" had been done and this allowed the installation to go ahead, so no need for this advice

The OP was reporting what had happened and, effectively, asking:
1. anyone else?
2. ideas as to why?

The OP doesn't need further advice on installing v3.9.0 as this has been achieved.

My reading skills let me down there lol. It has been reported a few times on the joomla FB group but no one has any idea why

... Yeah, I wasn't really asking any questions. Just sharing the experience as a courtesy, in case anyone out there did an update and couldn't find the new features. This only happened to me on one of many dozens of Joomla updates. So, perhaps it was just a rare fluke.

Just as belt and bracers ... Components >>>> Joomla update ... check for updates ... Reinstall Joomla core files.
