Installed wrong WordPress

Installed WP 4.7 from WordPress.com onto my Web Host.

I’m not sure that makes sense.

Can I just overwrite the current WordPress.com files with the www.ads-software.com files?

Yes, reinstalling WP that way should not be a problem.

I can’t install plugins so this must be the reason…picking up a copy of WP that expires…does this sound correct?

WordPress does not expire.

1. Please provide a link to your site.
2. Where/how are you hosting your site
3. How did you install it?

Installed via Cpanel
Hosting via Netvirtue

Have you contacted your hosting company’s tech support?

Here are the definitive steps to install wordpress. I do not recommend “one click” installers:

Thought I would try the one click install method…never again

Few errors in the error log

Checked Line 21 and this is the line that it's having issues with 

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/plugin.php’ );

files are missing. upload *all* of the files and directories from the wordpress .zip file.

ok errors are gone but still can’t ADD NEW plugins, can view the plugin section though…weird

What error do you get if you try to add a plugin?

I can manually add it via ftp with no issues but I dont have the option to add it via the wordpress admin atea

Are you using an administrator account?

Yes, using an Administrator account (no option to select SuperUser)

wait… is this multisite?

How can I tell?
