Can’t install WordPress plugins? Is the ‘add new plugins menu’ missing inside your WordPress admin area?

This weekend, I received an email from a client who couldn’t install or delete plugins. Not because installing or deleting a plugin caused a WordPress error. But because the add new plugin menu was missing.

The add new plugins menu should be seen under the plugins tab, like this …

And on the plugins page towards the top of the screen, in the ‘bulk actions’ drop down menu, you should be able to delete installed plugins.

 

If the add new plugins menu is missing from your WordPress blog, watch the video below. I’ll show you how to troubleshoot and fix it. 

If after doing the action steps in the video, the add new plugins menu is still not showing, let me know in the comments box below.
