Plugins are little mini-applications that get added to a WordPress installation to expand WordPress's functionality. So I'm going to assume that you really mean "installation", not "plugin". You can install WordPress via DreamHost's control panel right under your root directory, but it must be empty. Additionally, you will need to select a database name that's not in use. I suggest that you contact DreamHost's support for assistance - I can help you but you'll need to submit a request via my contact form, versus posting a question in my blog. Jill Hi Tabitha,

I've been trying to do this for days now and I am at a complete loss. I want my domain name (which I've registered with DreamHost) to have the Wordpress plugin on the main page (not a subdomain), but it will not let me have the site hosted with DreamHost AND use the WP plugin, unless I were to select something like blog.website.com. I followed all of your directions here, and it's giving me this error: You're already using "www.wearablejoy.com" for a database (or website) Any chance you can help me out? Thanks! Hi there.
