Add new plugin wordpress missing

A common issue!

If you're missing a plugin in WordPress, there are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

  1. Check the plugin repository: Make sure the plugin you're looking for is available in the WordPress plugin repository. You can search for the plugin on the WordPress.org plugins page.
  2. Check the plugin's website: Visit the plugin's official website to see if they have a download link or instructions on how to install the plugin.
  3. Check your WordPress dashboard: Log in to your WordPress dashboard and go to the "Plugins" page. Look for the "Add New" button and click on it. This will take you to the plugin installation page.
  4. Search for the plugin in the WordPress dashboard: On the "Add New" page, you can search for the plugin by name or keyword. If the plugin is available, it should appear in the search results.
  5. Check for conflicts with other plugins: Sometimes, a plugin can conflict with another plugin or theme, causing it to not appear in the dashboard. Try deactivating all other plugins and then try to install the missing plugin again.
  6. Check your WordPress version: Make sure your WordPress version is compatible with the plugin you're trying to install. You can check your WordPress version by going to the "Dashboard" > "Updates" page.
  7. Try installing the plugin manually: If the plugin is not available in the WordPress repository, you can try installing it manually by downloading the plugin files and uploading them to your WordPress site using an FTP client or the file manager in your hosting control panel.

If none of these steps work, you can try contacting the plugin author or seeking help from a WordPress developer or support team.
