In some few cases when installing plugins it is necessary to install only the files within the downloaded folder to your plugins direct rather than the entire folder. This is pretty uncommon now though.

Also remember that certain plugins may require you to set the correct file permissions for them to work with can be done with your ftp client in most instances. For example WP Super Cache requires you to set some files to 777, and then back to 755 for security reasons when you are done installing them.

Mike you can’t add plugins to a WordPress.com blog, only self-hosted blogs, which is what this site is all about.

Well, that’s not quite what I wanted to hear…lol! Is it possible that WordPress doesn’t allow you to install plugins unless you host it yourself?

If you need to ask… then, if you do have a hosting account, I suggest you stay out of the control panel.

I’m totally new to this so forgive the dumb question but….

How do you figure out your host? How do you login to it?

I’ve realized that some Plugins work independently of your blog’s content and files, just adding a little something special to the page. Others require modification of content and files, including changes to your database. Before installing any plugin that will make dramatic changes, backup your database and files.
