I notice that instructions for installing some community plug-ins say “go to settings > community plugins and turn off safe mode.”
I find “restricted mode” but not “safe mode.” Default for it is “off” not “on.” And when I turn it on searching for and installing plugins is deactivated.
What I’m trying to do
I’m trying to install a plug-in that says “turn off safe mode.” I don’t understand what that means. Also how, once I’ve done that, to actually install the plug-in.
What I see with restricted mode turned on. Below what the screen shot captured is a link to info about plug-in security and a button to turn restricted mode off:
However, as you know, I’m a newbie here. As such I’m not in a position to second-guess plug-in developers instructions. For all I know there’s a reason why you should disable community plug-ins when installing a plug-in.
It would be helpful to fools like me if plug-in developers stopped talking about “safe mode.”
