[SOLVED]Workspaces not showing

I use xfce4 on linux mint 20 amd64.
I have tried to increase workspaces from 2 to 6 but they don't show on bottom panel.
I can move apps to other workspaces, but there is no way to get to that app other than going to settings/workspaces and lower number to 1. Then I can use the app.
I tried removing .config/xfce4, then logging out and logging back in to create new xfce4 directory. I then tried adjusting workspaces again, but still they don't show.
And again, I can right click on an app and move it to another workspace, but same problem persists, workspaces don't show.

Any help appreciated.

Hi multios,

Right click on the panel and navigate to Panel > Add New Items... then scroll down to Workspace Switcher, click on it then click on Add.

Voila!

That worked! Thank you.
The workspaces all show at far right of panel, but they're there.

Ok, went to panel preferences and got the workspaces moved to left where normally appears. All is well.
