Add Plugins' button missing from Sub Site Menu

Elite

Hi there

I am installing my first MU site and have added a sub site under the main domain and am getting ready to add supporter plugin

I have activated admin options to see installed plugins and also network activated plugins as required.

Th issue I have is that even though I can see the Plugins Menu Item in the sub site and can activate individual plugins that I installed at the network admin domain I cannot Add any new plugins for that site from the Sub Site

Any help please

Hey blinko, welcome to the WPMU Dev Community! :-)

The behaviour you describe is normal for a Multisite install. The option to search and install plugins can be seen in the network admin area only. Your members are not to add their own by default (security issues).

Personally when on a production based site, I would advise using FTP to update your plugins. This ensures you remove all old files and correctly upload all new files thus avoiding any issues which can arrise.

Hope this helps.

Take care. :-)
