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.

Thanks for the video, I can’t really find the file in my wp-config.php. So i am unable to fix this issue.
Please how can you help me on this?

Hi Taiwo,
Did you try deactivating plugins and changing the theme to ensure it’s not a software conflict that’s causing the error?
Also, are plugins, themes, and WordPress files all up to date on your site? If so, please try reinstalling WordPress to see if that helps.
Let me know how you get on. 🙂
Kind Regards,
Kerry
I am very grateful Kerry. It has been resolved.
