Hello Christina,
I got it figured out.
For some reasons alidropship was not able to detect woocommerce, even wordpress itself told me to install woocommerce while in fact woocommerce was installed, activated and running fine on my site. Alidropship needs active woocommerce to run, without woocommerce installed and activated alidropships menu wont show.
I noticed that there was a warning on top of my admin page by alidropship saying that i need to install woocommerce in order for alidropship to run. I didnt understand why as i was sure that woocommerce was already installed and running. I was able to see the product pages and edit them. I reloaded the site several times and later saw another warning from wordpress telling me to install woocommerce. It was weird but at that point i knew whatever happened most likely had nothing to do with alidropship. I followed the instruction and installed another copy of woocommerce, and ended up having two copies of woocommerce on my installed plugins page. I later deleted the older version before activating the new one. This time, alidropship was able to detect woocommerce and started running.
It was one weird thing that happened to my site, one among many others. I hope this info help if in the future someone again run into this problem. It may be just woocommerce is not detectable somehow even we can see everything running just fine. Please backup your site tho before you deactivate and removing woocommerce, i think at some point i almost lost my site deleting woocommerce, luckily i had a few backups available.
