• Ive tried to get into the plug in section of my dashboard to activate a plug in ive just FTP, but apparently don’t have permission (even though I’m logged in).

    Ironically, the Plug Im trying to activate is to password protect my new Blog, which at the moment is totally accessible and possibly even editable by all and sundry, and now I can’t do a thing about it.

  • Log out and clear your browser cache. Try and see if that works. If not try to delete the plug in you uploaded via ftp and try that. Then re upload the plug in.

    The cache thing didnt work, but thanks anyway.

    I’ve solved my immediate problem of controlling access to the site its whilst under development by get the host company to control access through their server.

    However I want to turn eventually the Blog into a Membership site with controlled access to selected pages, which I think can’t be done through the hosting company, and I was about to buy a Plug in to allow me to do this through WordPress. So I think I will still have to deal with this problem at some point.

    I actually seem to have access to some of the Plug-in related functions, although that has also revealed another problem, that the Plug in doesnt seem to have installed even though the FTP software I used seemed to indicate that the transfer had occurred.
