Can’t see some plugins

  • Hi all,
    I’ve a strange problem, here is the situation:
    I was working on a website on a temporary address, like dev.yoursite.com. All my plugins were working fine. Then the other day a responsible for the server made the transition to the real url (without the dev.).
    And then I had strange errors from some plugins. No problem, I’ve change the url in my database and the website is working well, but the plugins that was gone are not visible anymore in the plugin admin panel. There are no nested folders or wrong file. Those plugins were working before the transfert.
    So, any idea why I can’t see those plugins in the list to reactivate them?

  • Might want to review Moving WordPress to see if responsible for the server made the transition correctly.

    Well, the website was still running because just the absolute path was different, and that’s not really a problem. Anyway, I’ve check in my database every where to see if there was still a wrong url or abolute path, but all was ok.
    I had 2 problems:
    – The one I’ve explained (plugins)
    – An error when I upload medias (the famous realpath() error). The system tries to find a folder wp-content/uploads in the wp-admin folder!!! I’ve resolved this one by commenting the lines in function.php and uncrossing the box: “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders”. Now it works…

    But for the plugins I’m really stuck. I can’t understand why the plugin page can’t see the folders I put in the right place…

    If your mover took your old files and moved them to the new location then you’d guess that you had a wp-content/plugins folder that contatined all your plugin files. You make need to change your file permissions on those folders if you do find the plugin files are there.

    Hey, I forgot to say thanks to you MichaelH! So thanks for your answer ??
    I’ve noticed by trying to add a brand new plugin that I can’t add any new ones. I thought I could because I tried with the “Hello Dolly” and it was working (deleting it, putting it back, etc…).
    Now after a few tests I can say that I can add plugins if they are just a simple php page, but not if they are in a folder??? Weird… All rights are 777 in the folders and files in it.
    I will see tomorrow if the host has an idea about that. Grrrrr, next I will stay with my usual host.
