     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?

     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.

     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.

     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 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?

    Svara

    • WPBeginner Support says

      sep 21, 2020 vid 1:22 e m

      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.

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?

      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.

      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.

    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.

        Thank you for the reply, I got it now. It just wasn’t clear, I see now that only the network admin can install new plugins.

      Hi Ali,

      No you cannot host your WordPress.com site anywhere else. You will need to use self hosted WordPress.org.

    Hi,
    If I buy a domain from wordpress.COM will it let me download and install plugins like adsense?

    Thanks!

      No it will not. You will also be unable to use Adsense. Please see our guide on the difference between self hosted WordPress.org vs free WordPress.com blog.
