Do you have admin access level on the one that is not working? Only admins can manage plugins.
Are they both self-hosted WordPress sites? Do you have Admin status on both sites?
Ahh ~ administrative access. Therein may lie the trouble. Yes, I do have it on the other blog, although how it got there, I haven’t a clue because a much more tech savvy than I friend helped me get it started. The 2nd blog (the one I don’t have the plug in feature) I set up myself. So, how do I get admin status…?
If you set the site up yourself, you should have Admin access.
OK………So just signing in with my user name & password gives me admin access? And if so, then what?
If you can go to Authors & Users you can see your Role. If you can’t do that either you are probably not an admin. Only admins can manage users.
Do a forgotten password on “admin” see if you get any emails.
Ok, so it says my role is administrator. Now what?
If this is a self-hosted WP site and you have admin status (not just access), you’ll be able to see the Plugins menu item.
You would think, however, I cannot. That is why I am posting here.
On my other blog (#1), it shows up right under the Appearance pane (not in it, just under it, as in the next pane).
On this blog (#2) it is just not there at all. What am I missing? Do I need to be signed in some other way….?
Please list what you can see in the Admin menu on your problem blog.
While waiting for answers here, I continued to dig, and think I have found the answer. I am using WordPress.COM for blog #2 (where I cannot see Plugins) and most likely am using WordPress.ORG for the other blog that my friend set up. I say this because after reading an article on the difference between .com & .org versions (http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/) I am sure he must have done that since the address for that blog is my domain name and is on a hosted server. Blog #2 I just went to WP and set it up myself.
Like I said, I am not the world’s most tech savvy person, so this difference eluded me. So, guess I can’t have plugin on blog #2 unless I want to get more technical with it, which I do not ~ I just want a place to post some pics, nothing fancy like blog #1 which is business related and needs lots of bells & whistles. 🙂
Thank you everyone for your assistance.
