Can NOT find plugins after uploading them in the WP admin panel

  • Hi,

    I installed a theme using filezilla ftp manager and it was all good…I see the new theme in the themes section of the wordpress admin panel backend.

    Then I installed/uploaded 3 pluggins using filezilla ftp manager as follows:

    FCKeditor
    all-in-one-seo-pack
    google-sitemap-generator

    PROBLEM: When I go to the Pluggins section of the WP admin panel, I do NOT see any of the above 3 pluggins I installed. I just see the 2 default pluggins: akismet and hello.

    How do I find the new 3 pluggins I uploaded?
    Please help.

    Thank you very much.

  • Sounds fishy. Assuming the plugins are definitely i the right directory I would check to make sure the permissions and owners aren’t all weird.

    Other than that I would have to assume the upload was corrupt somehow. I would try again.

    you nested them inside directories.

    You want this:

    /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/plugin-name/

    there will be some files inside there, and *maybe* another directory that the plugin needs for other stuff

    You have this:

    /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/plugin-name/

    and then *maybe* that other directory..

    Both above paths look same to me. What is the difference?

    Please advise.

    PS: I deleted all pluggins and reloaded them again….same problem….I do NOT see them in the wordpress pluggins management section. I only see the two default ones: akismet and hello.

    Thanks.

    Oops i edited the post, and accidentally made them the same:

    that ought to read:

    You want this:

    /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/

    there will be some files inside there, and *maybe* another directory that the plugin needs for other stuff

    You have this:

    /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/plugin-name/

    Better? Sorry ’bout that.

    Actually I have it as you suggested:

    /public_html/wp-content/plugins/fckeditor/

    /public_html/wp-content/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/

    /public_html/wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator.3.0.3.3/

    Don’t know whats causing the problem still.

    I appreciate your help.

    and what directories and files are inside public_html/wp-content/plugins/fckeditor/ ?

    under fckeditor, there are 3 folders (samples, editor, fckeditor) and so many other fck related files.

    do this:

    move all the files inside fckeditor up one directory, maintaining the directory structure while you do so..

    Somehow all pluggins appeared in wp admin. Thanks for all your time.

    I still don’t know what it was but everything is fine now ??
