No Plugins Option on Dashboard

    There is no “Plugins” option anywhere in my Dashboard, and I cannot figure out how to enable this function so that I can use new plugins to modify my website. (hosted with WordPress, 3.1)

    I am learning all ‘how websites work’ stuff from scratch, so am having a hard time following some of the different commentaries on problems like this on other posts.

    I did look in folder that all of the website files are located in on my hard drive and saw that under wp-content/ there is a Plugins folder and that looks like there are several plugins within that folder that the website currently uses.

    And I really just don’t understand where to go from here to get a plugin tab so that I can use the dashboard interface to add plugins and modify them using the “visual” editing components that i currently use for modifying different elements of other pages i have access to.
    Thanks.

    Are you sure that you are signed in on an account having ‘admin’ permission level?

    if this means ‘hosted with WordPress.com‘ then you need to ask at http://en.forums.wordpress.com/

    the best might be if you can post a link to your site.

    Oy–thanks for the reminder.

    Based on what I have access to when I login to /wp-admin, it seems like I have only have ‘Editor’ permission levels.

    I never realized…I guess this means it’s time to hunt down the friend who set up the website to begin with to get permission.

    Thanks, Rev. Voodoo! I thought I was the ‘admin’ this whole time…
