Eine der häufigsten Fragen, die uns unsere Leser stellen, ist: „Warum kann ich in WordPress keine Plugins hinzufügen?“
Diese Situation tritt in der Regel auf, wenn der Benutzer eine Upgrade-Meldung sieht oder sein Admin-Bereich das Plugins-Menü nicht enthält. Wenn Sie mit diesem Problem zu tun haben, dann sind Sie hier richtig.
In diesem Artikel wird erklärt, warum Sie in WordPress keine Plugins hinzufügen oder installieren können.
In diesem Leitfaden haben wir 5 der wichtigsten Gründe aufgelistet, warum Sie in WordPress keine Plugins hinzufügen oder installieren können. Verwenden Sie die Quicklinks unten, um zu dem Thema zu springen, das auf Ihre Situation zutrifft:
1. Sie sind auf WordPress.com
WordPress.com ist ein Blog-Hosting-Service, der eine eingeschränkte Version der beliebten selbst gehosteten WordPress-Software anbietet. In unserem Leitfaden zum Unterschied zwischen WordPress.com und WordPress.org finden Sie weitere Informationen.
WordPress.com-Benutzer können keine Plugins installieren, es sei denn, sie nehmen ein Upgrade auf den Creator-Tarif oder einen höheren Tarif vor, der bei etwa 25 US-Dollar pro Monat beginnt. Wenn Sie einen Free-, Beginner- oder Explorer-Tarif haben, können Sie keine Plugins von Drittanbietern installieren.
Wenn Sie diesen Betrag nicht bezahlen möchten, können Sie Ihr Blog von WordPress.com zu WordPress.org umziehen.
Wenn Sie dabei Hilfe benötigen, können Sie unseren kostenlosen WordPress-Blog-Einrichtungsservice nutzen. Vermerken Sie einfach, dass Sie möchten, dass wir Ihre Website übertragen, und wir werden es kostenlos tun.
Profi-Tipp: Möchten Sie eine Website auf WordPress.org erstellen, ohne dass es zu Problemen kommt? Unsere WPBeginner Pro Services helfen Ihnen, Ihre Online-Präsenz in Schwung zu bringen und mühelos eine schöne Website zu erstellen.
2. Es gibt Benutzerrollenbeschränkungen
WordPress verfügt über ein integriertes System zur Verwaltung von Benutzerrollen, das den Benutzern Ihrer Website verschiedene Zugriffsebenen zuweist.
Administratoren sind die höchste Benutzerrolle mit vollem Zugriff auf alle Funktionen Ihrer WordPress-Website, einschließlich Hinzufügen, Installieren und Aktivieren von Plugins.
Andererseits können Redakteure, Autoren, Mitwirkende und Abonnenten keine Plugins installieren.
Wenn Sie an einer Website arbeiten, aber das Menü „Plugins“ nicht sehen, haben Sie möglicherweise keinen Administrator-Zugang.
Wenn Sie der Person, die die Website verwaltet (z. B. einem Entwickler oder Webmaster), vertrauen, können Sie sie höflich bitten, Ihnen Administratorrechte für die Installation der benötigten Plugins zu erteilen.
3. Sie haben ein Problem mit der Speicherbegrenzung
Das zweithäufigste Szenario ist, dass Sie die Seite Plugins sehen und darauf zugreifen können, aber keine Plugins installieren können. Wenn Sie versuchen, Plugins zu installieren, wird eine Fehlermeldung angezeigt.
Dieser Fehler wird normalerweise durch das PHP-Speicherlimit verursacht. WordPress ist mit der Skriptsprache PHP geschrieben, und jedes PHP-Skript benötigt eine bestimmte Menge an Speicher.
Es gibt Einstellungen in Ihrem WordPress-Hosting und innerhalb des WordPress-Kerns, die die Menge an Speicher festlegen, die ein PHP-Skript verwenden kann.
Wenn ein Prozess diese Grenze erreicht, wird er entweder beendet oder zeigt einen Fehler wie diesen auf Ihrer WordPress-Website an:
Fataler Fehler: Erlaubte Speichergröße von 67108864 Bytes erschöpft
Die schnelle Lösung für dieses Problem ist die Erhöhung des PHP-Speicherlimits. Sie können dies tun, indem Sie diese Zeile in Ihre wp-config.php-Datei einfügen:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
Ausführlichere Anweisungen finden Sie in unserer Anleitung zur Behebung des WordPress-Fehlers „Erschöpfter Speicher“.
Beachten Sie, dass die Erhöhung des PHP-Speicherlimits zwar manchmal das Problem beheben und die Installation von Plugins ermöglichen kann, aber nicht immer die ideale Lösung ist.
Bösartiger Code könnte ein hohes Speicherlimit ausnutzen, um mehr Ressourcen als beabsichtigt zu verbrauchen, was die Sicherheit Ihrer WordPress-Website beeinträchtigen könnte.
Bevor Sie das Speicherlimit selbst ändern, sollten Sie unbedingt Ihren WordPress-Hosting-Anbieter konsultieren. Er kann die spezifischen Anforderungen Ihrer Website analysieren und Sie bei Bedarf zu einer sicheren und angemessenen Erhöhung des Speicherlimits beraten.
Weitere Informationen finden Sie in unserem Artikel darüber, wie Sie richtig um WordPress-Support bitten.
4. Sie befinden sich in einem Multisite-Netzwerk
Ein weiterer möglicher Grund, warum Sie das Plugins-Menü in WordPress nicht sehen können, ist, dass Ihre Website Teil eines WordPress-Multisite-Netzwerks ist.
Ein WordPress-Multisite-Netzwerk ermöglicht es Ihnen, mehrere Websites von einer einzigen WordPress-Installation aus zu verwalten. Dies kann in Situationen nützlich sein, in denen Sie ein Netzwerk ähnlicher Websites betreiben müssen.
Ein wesentlicher Unterschied zwischen einem Multisite-Netzwerk und einer typischen WordPress-Installation besteht jedoch darin, dass der Netzwerkadministrator mehr Kontrolle über die einzelnen Sites hat.
In manchen Fällen kann der Netzwerkadministrator das Plugins-Menü für einzelne Sites innerhalb des Netzwerks deaktivieren, um die Konsistenz zu wahren oder die Stabilität aller Sites zu gewährleisten.
Um dieses Problem zu lösen, können Sie Ihren Netzwerkadministrator bitten, Plugins für Sie zu installieren.
Weitere Informationen zu diesem Thema finden Sie in unserem Leitfaden zu der Frage , warum Sie bei WordPress-Multisite-Installationen nicht alle Plugins sehen.
5. Sie haben die falsche Plugin-Datei hochgeladen
Angenommen, Sie möchten eine Plugin-Datei eines Drittanbieters hochladen, aber WordPress zeigt eine Fehlermeldung wie die folgende an:
In diesem Fall sollten Sie überprüfen, ob Sie überhaupt die richtige Datei hochgeladen haben. Plugin-Dateien werden in der Regel in einem .zip-Paket geliefert, das heißt, sie verwenden das .zip-Format.
Überprüfen Sie auch, ob die heruntergeladenen Zip-Inhaltsdateien ebenfalls kompatibel sind. Nicht alle Plugins von Drittanbietern stammen aus vertrauenswürdigen Quellen, und das kann der Grund sein, warum sie nicht richtig hochgeladen werden.
Weitere Informationen zur Installation von Plugins finden Sie in den folgenden Anleitungen:
- Wie man ein WordPress Plugin installiert (Schritt für Schritt)
- Leitfaden für Einsteiger: Wie Sie das beste WordPress-Plugin auswählen
- Sollten Sie Plugins installieren, die nicht mit Ihrer WordPress-Version getestet wurden?
Um Sicherheitsrisiken zu minimieren, empfehlen wir außerdem, nur Plugins aus seriösen Quellen wie dem Plugin-Verzeichnis von WordPress.org zu installieren. Das WordPress.org-Verzeichnis verfügt über ein Prüfverfahren und bietet in der Regel Plugins von vertrauenswürdigen Entwicklern an.
Hier sind einige zusätzliche Tipps für die Auswahl sicherer Plugins:
- Suchen Sie nach Plugins mit aktiver Entwicklung und guten Nutzerbewertungen.
- Überprüfen Sie das Datum der letzten Aktualisierung, um sicherzustellen, dass das Plugin mit Ihrer WordPress-Version kompatibel ist.
- Lesen Sie die Beschreibung und die Bewertungen des Plugins, um sich über seine Funktionen und mögliche Kompatibilitätsprobleme zu informieren.
Wir hoffen, dass dieser Artikel Ihnen geholfen hat zu erfahren, warum Sie in WordPress keine Plugins hinzufügen oder installieren können.

I set up a Wordpress site in 2014 and was able to get plugins without going into a business plan. And I sent up another site a few years ago and it was also not any problem to add plugins. As far as I know, it was via Wordpress.com and not Wordpress.org – I downloaded a theme and editors that and used my own URL hosted by a hosting company. I’m quite confused now as no one seems to be saying that this policy of having to pay for a business plan is a new thing. Is it a new thing?
WPBeginner Support
If your site is on a hosting provider and not the WordPress.com website then it is a WordPress.org site. Having to purchase the business plan on WordPress.com for access to plugins is not something new.

I had one site of mine that had the issue of no option for adding or updating plugins. For some reason define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_MODS’,true); was in my wp-config file.
Once I deleted that line, my plugin options were restored. It took me a while to find this solution. I hope this helps people find this solution.

Thanks for the good article! I am bit confused, because I am super administrator and can’t install any new plugins. I can activate and deactivate plugins for sites or the whole network. But I don’t have the page for plugin installtion. Do you have any suggestions in this case? Thanks!
WPBeginner Support
If you’re using a multisite like it sounds like you are, you would need to install the plugin in the network admin area rather than on the individual sites.

Hello! Same problem here. Cannot ADD plugins.
More details of my site:
WordPress 5.2.2 running Bridge theme, so Wordpress.org. no .com
Hostgator for hosting
I am an admin and no one else has ever done any work on the site, so I am the only admin for sure.
Please help and thanks in advance!
WPBeginner Support
You may want to check with your hosting provider to ensure there are no errors on their end that could be part of the problem. You could try checking your folder permissions as well similar to the article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-fix-file-and-folder-permissions-error-in-wordpress/

Don’t know what I’m doing wrong with new wordpress.com blog (true newbie). My menu doesn’t look like those above. All I see are the following 7 options, all are listed on the left: Site Identity, Colors & Backgrounds, Fonts, Header Image, Menus, CSS and Widgets. I guess my question is, is this as it should be for the free (.com) site? Is it from this menu that I will create and complete my free blog?
Sorry to be so ignorant about this. I think I’m missing something as I don’t imagine it’s supposed to seem so confusing.
Thank you!
Mazie
WPBeginner Support
Sadly, our tutorials are for WordPress.org rather than WordPress.com which is what you’re using would be part of the confusion. If you go to the wp-admin area of your WordPress.com site the admin area will look similar but you will still have the WordPress.com limitations.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing such a valuable info.
Maybe this’s a bit off topic question.
I’m having a small issue at the moment with adding a new submenu page.
So basically I got an Astra Theme (not a pro version) with Beaver Builder.
I add the page as usual then add to the menu under sub-item, all looks good.
But when I click on the sub menu page it doesn’t take me there. It basically takes me to a home page.
What could be an issue? Could you help me please?
Thank you

And like YEBOAH MARTIN said, I was facing the same error when I tried to create a video streaming site and uploaded videos. I did increase the file size limit to 977 GB!

WPBeginner Support
Hi Angelo,
If comments are closed on all your articles, then go to Settings » Discussion page inside WordPress admin area and check the box next to ‚Allow people to post comments on new articles‘ option. Any new article you now add will have comments enabled by default.
For your older article you will have to edit them and then on the post edit screen click on the Screen Options button at the top right corner of the screen. Check the box next to Discussion option. Now scroll down below the post editing area and you will see a Discussion meta box where you need to check the option ‚Allow Comment‘ option.

I was added as ‚admin‘ in a multisite WordPress so I couldn’t see the Plugins. Asked for the ’network admin‘ to enable Plugins in ‚Network Configurations‘ but looks like that just allows me to see the Plugins, still not able to install new plugins.

Hey Rafael,
The network admin or super admin can allow individual site admins to activate or deactivate plugins on their own.
