    Not even sure which version of WP I have so still trying to find that out but have managed to find the plug in for Hide My Site but can not seem to add it to the side.

    It says find the admin section but there is not one so not sure.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,

    I’m not sure I understand what you are asking.

    Where does it say ‘find the admin section’?

    Hi!

    At installation it says:

    From WP admin > Plugins > Add New
    Search “Hide My Site” under search and hit Enter
    Click “Install Now”
    Click the Activate Plugin link

    So I am assuming that I need to find the WP admin section and follow the instructions. But can not also have not find another way to do it either.

    It may be that my version is not good enough for the hide my site plug in?

    thanks

    Are you not able to access the admin section of your WordPress site?

    If you don’t see a ‘plugins’ option on the left side of your WordPress admin section, this means you have a WordPress.com site. If you want to be able to install custom plugins, you have to have a WordPress.org site.

    You can read more about the differences between the two in this article https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-org-vs-wordpress-com/

    Thanks very much. Just figured that out… totally new and didn’t realize there was a difference! 🙂
