Por que não consigo adicionar ou instalar plug-ins no WordPress? (5 razões)

Uma das perguntas mais comuns que nossos leitores nos fazem é: “Por que não consigo adicionar plug-ins no WordPress?”

Essa situação geralmente ocorre quando o usuário está vendo uma mensagem de atualização ou quando a área de administração não tem o menu Plugins. Se estiver lidando com esse problema, você está no lugar certo.

Neste artigo, explicaremos por que você não pode adicionar ou instalar plug-ins no WordPress.

Why Can't I Add or Install Plugins in WordPress

Este guia listou 5 dos principais motivos pelos quais você não pode adicionar ou instalar plug-ins no WordPress. Sinta-se à vontade para usar os links rápidos abaixo para pular para o tópico específico que se aplica à sua situação:

1. Você está no WordPress.com

O WordPress.com é um serviço de hospedagem de blogs que oferece uma versão limitada do popular software WordPress auto-hospedado. Consulte nosso guia sobre a diferença entre o WordPress.com e o WordPress.org para obter mais detalhes.

Os usuários do WordPress.com não podem instalar plug-ins a menos que façam upgrade para o plano Creator ou superior, que começa em cerca de US$ 25 por mês. Se você estiver em um plano Free, Beginner ou Explorer, não poderá instalar plug-ins de terceiros.

Trying to install a plugin in WordPress.com

Se você não quiser pagar esse valor, poderá mover seu blog do WordPress.com para o WordPress.org.

Se precisar de ajuda para fazer isso, você pode usar nosso serviço gratuito de configuração de blog do WordPress. Basta informar que deseja que transfiramos seu site e nós o faremos gratuitamente.

Dica profissional: Deseja criar um site no WordPress.org sem complicações? Nossos serviços WPBeginner Pro podem ajudar a dar o pontapé inicial em sua presença on-line e criar um belo site sem esforço.

2. Há restrições de função de usuário

O WordPress tem um sistema integrado de gerenciamento de funções de usuário que atribui diferentes níveis de acesso aos usuários do seu site.

Os administradores são a função de usuário mais alta, com acesso total a todas as funcionalidades do seu site WordPress, incluindo a adição, a instalação e a ativação de plug-ins.

Por outro lado, os editores, autores, colaboradores e assinantes não podem instalar plug-ins.

Administrator vs Editor dashboard in WordPress

Se você estiver trabalhando em um site, mas não vir o menu “Plugins”, é possível que não tenha acesso de administrador.

Nesse caso, se você confia na pessoa que gerencia o site (por exemplo, um desenvolvedor ou webmaster), pode pedir educadamente que ela lhe conceda permissões de administrador para instalar os plug-ins de que você precisa.

3. Você está enfrentando um problema de limite de memória

O segundo cenário mais comum é que você pode ver e acessar a página Plugins, mas não pode instalar plugins. Ao tentar instalar plug-ins, você verá uma mensagem de erro.

Esse erro geralmente é causado pelo limite de memória do PHP. O WordPress é escrito usando a linguagem de script PHP e cada script PHP usa uma determinada quantidade de memória.

Há configurações em sua hospedagem do WordPress e dentro do núcleo do WordPress que definem a quantidade de memória que um script PHP pode usar.

Quando um processo atinge esse limite, ele é encerrado ou mostra um erro como este em seu site do WordPress:

Erro fatal: Tamanho de memória permitido de 67108864 bytes esgotado

A solução rápida para esse problema é aumentar o limite de memória do PHP. Você pode fazer isso adicionando esta linha ao seu arquivo wp-config.php:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Para obter instruções mais detalhadas, consulte nosso guia sobre como corrigir o erro de memória esgotada do WordPress.

Observe que, embora o aumento do limite de memória do PHP possa, às vezes, resolver o problema e permitir a instalação de plug-ins, é importante entender que essa nem sempre é a solução ideal.

Um código mal-intencionado pode explorar um limite de memória alto para consumir mais recursos do que o pretendido, o que pode afetar a segurança do seu site WordPress.

Antes de modificar o limite de memória por conta própria, é altamente recomendável consultar seu provedor de hospedagem WordPress. Ele pode analisar as necessidades específicas de seu site e aconselhar sobre um aumento seguro e adequado do limite de memória, se necessário.

Para obter mais informações, leia nosso artigo sobre como solicitar corretamente o suporte do WordPress.

4. Você está em uma rede com vários sites

Outro possível motivo pelo qual você não consegue ver o menu Plugins no WordPress é o fato de seu site fazer parte de uma rede de vários sites do WordPress.

Uma rede multissite do WordPress permite que você gerencie vários sites a partir de uma única instalação do WordPress. Isso pode ser útil em situações em que você precisa administrar uma rede de sites semelhantes.

No entanto, uma diferença fundamental entre uma rede com vários sites e uma instalação típica do WordPress é que o administrador da rede tem mais controle sobre os sites individuais.

Em alguns casos, o administrador da rede pode desativar o menu Plugins para sites individuais dentro da rede para manter a consistência ou garantir a estabilidade em todos os sites.

Installing plugins on multisite network

Para resolver esse problema, você pode pedir ao administrador da rede que instale plug-ins para você.

Para obter mais informações sobre esse tópico, consulte nosso guia sobre por que você não vê todos os plug-ins nas instalações de vários sites do WordPress.

5. Você fez upload do arquivo de plug-in errado

Digamos que você queira fazer upload de um arquivo de plug-in de terceiros, mas o WordPress continua exibindo uma mensagem de erro como a abaixo:

Example of plugin upload error

Nesse caso, talvez seja necessário verificar se você está carregando o arquivo correto em primeiro lugar. Os arquivos de plug-in geralmente vêm em um pacote .zip, o que significa que eles usarão o formato .zip.

Você também pode verificar se os arquivos de conteúdo zip que baixou são compatíveis. Nem todos os plug-ins de terceiros são provenientes de fontes confiáveis, e esse pode ser o motivo pelo qual eles não estão sendo carregados corretamente.

Para obter mais informações sobre a instalação de plug-ins, consulte nossos guias abaixo:

Além disso, para minimizar os riscos de segurança, recomendamos instalar apenas plug-ins de fontes confiáveis, como o diretório de plug-ins do WordPress.org. O diretório WordPress.org tem um processo de revisão e tende a oferecer plug-ins de desenvolvedores confiáveis.

Aqui estão algumas dicas adicionais para escolher plug-ins seguros:

  • Procure plug-ins com desenvolvimento ativo e boas classificações de usuários.
  • Verifique a data da “Última atualização” para garantir que o plug-in seja compatível com sua versão do WordPress.
  • Leia a descrição e as análises do plug-in para entender seus recursos e possíveis problemas de compatibilidade.

Esperamos que este artigo tenha ajudado você a saber por que não é possível adicionar ou instalar plug-ins no WordPress. Talvez você também queira ver nossa lista dos plug-ins obrigatórios do WordPress e nosso guia sobre erros comuns do WordPress e como corrigi-los.

    Hello
    I can see the plugin menu and the plugin I have installed
    But the add new plugin button is disabled
    can you help me?

    • WPBeginner Support

      There is a good chance your site is a part of a multisite network. If it is not then we would recommend checking that you do not have any plugins that would prevent adding new plugins.

    I can see plugin widget in my dashboard but when I clink on add plugin, there are no plugins. I just see an error:
    “An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.”
    If I search a plugin name in search bar, the page refreshes but finally this massage appears again.
    what did happened?

    • WPBeginner Support

      For that error, we would recommend checking with your hosting provider to see if they have the specific error logged or if they may have a setting in their system that may have blocked the connection to WordPress.org.

    How ridiculous. I have several websites and I was going to create a new WordPress-based site that needed to use a comparison chart but I’m not willing to pay $300 a year for plugins. I’ll go elsewhere I guess.

    • WPBeginner Support

      As we say in that section, if you do not want to pay $300 per year, we would recommend using WordPress.org which is a WordPress site on another hosting provider :)

    I have inserted the plugin name but it still prompts me the same error.

    Error: The plugin has no name. Add a Plugin Name: line to your main plugin file and upload the plugin again. For more information, please review our documentation on Plugin Headers.

    • WPBeginner Support

      If the plugin is one you’re downloading from an external site you would want to reach out to the plugin’s support with that error message. If it is a custom plugin then you would want to ensure your plugin name is set as a comment in the header.

    I have a multisite and I installed several plugins but one isn’t showing. I can see it when I go to plugins and I have activated it but it is not showing up in my dashboard so I cant use it. Help. Why isn’t a particular installed and activated plugin showing up in m dashboard but other plugins are?

    • WPBeginner Support

      Not all plugins work with multisite installations, we would recommend checking with the support for that plugin and they would be able to help with any issues like this.

    Hi,
    Thank you for sharing knowledge. We have a wordpress website hosted on our company internal server. Now we would like to migrate it to our cloud platform.
    I tried to click Add new plugin to install “All-in-One WP Migration”. However whenever I click on ‘Add new’ link server is returning 503 error. Rest all links on admin page works fine.
    Any suggestions?

    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.

    • 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.

    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?

      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.
