 * I was busy in dasboard on another of my sites and added a nice social media plugin.
   When I came to add it to another site I found no “Add Plugin” button. No matter
   how I have looked there is no way for to add more plugins even though I have 
   no active plugins at the moment and only 3 inactive

 * Is this a multi-site install? If so, you’d need to go to the Network Admin to
   install the plugins.

 * Hi Thanks for the response. I went into network admin, and sure enough the add
   plugins button was there, multi-site is enabled. I installed the plugin I wanted,
   then went back to my main domain, but still no,luck. I have logged out and back
   in again and re-checked. But no added plugin

 * Best guess
 * >  You need to enable the Plugins page for individual site administrators from
   > the Network Admin’s Settings -> Network Settings menu.

 * I am a newbie and i must be really dumb. I cannot find a “Network Settings” menu
   where there is anything I can do to add the missing functions to the Plugins 
   menu. On all sub-domains the plugins menu is complete but not on my main domain,
   the edit & add tabs are missing

 * Try this: [http://YOURDOMAINHERE/wp-admin/network/](http://YOURDOMAINHERE/wp-admin/network/)
 * Or in the upper right where it says ‘Howdy, Username’, that dropdown should have
   a Network Admin option

 * Thnks so much for your help. I still don’t get an ‘Add Plugins’ button but I 
   can now add a plugins by the mean that you suggested so I am satisfied with that.
   I don’t often add plugins so it’s no real hassle once in a while
    Thanks Again

 * Keep this in mind for Multi Blog Admin panel
 * 1) main domain/wp-admin here you could install plugin for main blog, root domain,
   and assign plug weather to be available for all blog or only for main blog.
 * Update network if you made any change or update your account status
 * 2)main domain/wp-admin/network/
 * Check your profile authorization.
