@geoslack are the missing collections the same you mentioned here: http://forums.b2evolution.net/6-7-3-admin-site-header-incomplete ?

Thanks for the response! Yes the blogs are the same ones as mentioned in that other post. And both issues are resolved if I change the list of collections settings to:
Lists of collections --> show in front office --> for logged in users only
It was previously "members only" for the two blogs in question.
And collection permissions for all blogs are "advanced" and "allow access to everyone."
I suppose I don't quite get the meaning of this particular "lists of collections" setting since the owner of the blogs is also a member and the blogs were not appearing to the owner in the sitewide header. On the other hand, hiding the blog in the plugin seems unrelated to the "front-office," since it is only possible to see that plugin while editing a post, i.e., in the "back-office." Maybe these are unintended consequences of some inner complexities of the system.
The reason I am using these settings is related to the use of my site. Ideally, I'd like one blog and one manual visible in the sitewide header to members of each of two different groups and hidden otherwise. So, group A sees only blog A and manual A, and group B sees only blog B and manual B. But then I'd like the owner (me) to see them all in the header and for all blogs to be accessible without login to selected lurkers who know the urls. I'm using this setup for teaching a couple of different courses and colleagues need to see what's happening... But if changing the front office visibility of these blogs to "members only" breaks the plugin's functionality I'll use another solution -- like commenting out the blog lists in the sitewide header php file and then relying on menu links within the blogs for inter-blog navigation. I like the login link on the sitewide header, otherwise I'd just not use it.
Thanks so much for your help!

cool :)
@geoslack Can you share a screenshot of the Collection permissions (http://b2evolution.net/man/collection-permission-settings) and Lists of collections (http://b2evolution.net/man/collection-list-settings) settings for the blogs that don't appear in the list?
Thank you.
