Things are always changing here as staff experiments and automatically updates constantly.

What you need to know is that there is more than one kind of wordpress:
wordpress.COM and wordpress.ORG

We cannot use plugins on wp.com. We have no FTP access.

Here are some details:

Which comes down to: you cannot upgrade on wp.com to use plugins. You can choose to find a host and use wp.ORG software.

I write a blog called The Techno Kittens (www.thetechnokittens.com). I’m having trouble trying to find plug-ins on my administrator panel and wonder if I am operating an old version of WordPress. When I signed up I did it all through wordpress so I wasn’t involved with the installation etc and bought the domain name through wordpress.

I was thinking it may be because the version of wordpress I’m using is old and needs upgrading. I’ve searched other forum posts to find out what version I’m working but I cannot seem to find the version number anywhere in my admin panel (at the bottom etc) or anywhere else for that matter.

Can anyone help me to understand how I can use plug ins and how I can check if I need to upgrade wordpress (and how if necessary!)?

Thanks so much
Leigh

I however have never run a wordpress site that wasn't a sitename.wordpress.com site.
Here are my questions:
1. Are all files installed via web or do I have to access the main frame computer?

2. Can we edit a theme from two different computer? Meaning can I link up his wordpress database to my computer. Or is this unnecessary b/c it's all installed online?

Basically, I am not 100% clear on how a wordpress site works. I know that on dreamweaver you can connect multiple computers, word offline, then upload to the site. But wordpress isn't my strong suit.

HELP! Thanks so much for your time and sorry for the silly question.

First, I tried deactivating all plugins and installing Jetpack. Same error.

Then, with the plugins still deactivated, I changed the theme do Twenty Eleven and reuploaded the plugin (downloading it from the search function doesn't seem to be working). Same error.

It's strange, because the search function doesn't seem to have any problem (I tried installing three different plugins after and they all worked). Uploading also works fine. It's just Jetpack.

The only thing I didn't know of in the Troubleshooting page of Jetpack was /xmlrpc.php. I tried accessing that and I got exactly what I should: a perfect one-lined text saying "XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only."

See? I have tried pretty much everything. The server is slow, so it's not letting me reinstall WordPress from the Dashboard, and I'm afraid of losing content if I reupload my original WordPress folder (downloaded from the website) onto the previous ones.

Is there any other alternative? Is this an isolated problem?

Thank you.
