Moodle Install plugin setting doesn't appear in Site administration

I am a new user of moodle, and I am trying to create a educational platform. I currently using the free version of moodle so I can test the features and after trial period finish buy the license. My problem is that I am trying to upload a theme from plugins, but the "Install plugin" button doesn't appear on the "Site administration". I am the only super admin in the forum. I have seen some similar questions and in most of them the answer was to be sure that you viewing with super admin view (but I am sure that this isn't the problem).

I have hosted this site to moodle official server. After searching and many re-installations of the platform, didn't manage to find out what is wrong.

Does anyone had the same problem and found solution?

Solution

  • Can you edit or view yourmoodlesite/config.php ?

    Does it have one of these settings?

    $CFG->disableonclickaddoninstall = true;

$CFG->disableupdateautodeploy = true;

    Either delete them or set to false

    For more details see yourmoodlesite/config-dist.php
