Delete option doesn’t appear for plugins

by

On the Plugins screen I have options to activate and deactivate plugins, but I no longer have the “Delete” option. I’m relatively sure the option appeared earlier.

Also, when I hover over “Plugins” on the admin menu I don’t get the usual popup submenu showing “Install New / Add / Editor”. And when I click the Plugins menu I don’t see those submenu options either.

What’s gone wrong?

FWIW, the client I’m working for is hosted at GoDaddy.

D’oh.

I fixed it, but I’ll leave this question in case others have similar problems.

When copy/pasting various options into wp-config.php I accidentally included this setting, which I don’t normally use:

// Overkill but FYI: disallows installation/updating of any theme or plugin
define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS',true);

That produces the described problem, albeit by design.
