I created a Plugin which extended the backend administration of Shopware. In older Shopware versions it’s working without any problem. So the Backend looks like this:

So I added some buttons which would lead you to a configuration page of the plugin. In Shopware 6.4 the buttons will not show up. Is there any way to do this in Shopware 6.4 as well?

Since SW 6.4 adding menu entries to root level is not supported anymore. You are supposed to add your very module entry point to one of the existing root level menu items by declaring a parent reference in your navigatin directive inside the module’s index.js.
