Plugins are only supported by server types, such as Paper.
If a plugin doesn’t work from the plugin downloader, the plugin author has usually messed something up, in which case you just grab it from the Spigot site yourself.
The plugin downloader also doesn’t care about the version, so if that’s important, get the plugin yourself.

You have Paper 1.8.8 selected from the looks of it, make sure you have the right MC version selected.
And if you did mean to select 1.8.8, make sure you;re running the server using Java 8
