Plugin path is not recognized.

  • I am sure that there is an answer here in the archives, but I have searched and not found any answer. My challenge is two fold: a) I have very little understanding of what I am doing and b) I have very little time to gain the understanding.

    This is my blog: lilylpod.com

    I have been trying to install two plug ins: weather and lazy gallery.

    Both times I try to pull up the index pages for the plug ins, I get similar “no such file or directory” error messages:

    https://lilylpod.com/wordpress/lazy-index.php

    My wordpress files are installed in a folder called wordpress. Thanks for any help.

    My site has other problems and if anyone would like to paid for helping me out, I would sincerely consider this. Thanks!

  • first of all, the plugins cannot be accessed directly using a path
    now do this
    1) place ur plugin files in the following path https://lilylpod.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
    2) login to ur wordpress and goto the plugins section
    3) Ur new plugins shall be detected and displayed here
    4) activate ur new plugins

    *Note: all plugins require some sort of a php code to be inserted in ur template, read the help files accompanying the plugin.

    Have you followed the instructions found here:

    https://www.lazyboy.dk/wordpress/?page_id=14

    One step involves creating a directory for Lazy Gallery, which is what the errors on your Page are pointing out (it doesn’t exist):

    “Warning: opendir(/home/lilylpod/public_html/wordpress/wp-gallery/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory…”

    I have done the things suggested in the prior two posts before posting. I created a folder called lazy-gallery (actually, I just copied the contents of the unzipped file into the plugins folder via SmartFTP)

    path: lilylpod.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery.
    The plugin is recognized in the Plugins Section of the wordpress Dashboard/Admin panel. I did press “activate”

    It was after these steps that I tried to access the lazy-index.php file which I had moved from the lazy-gallery folder to the wordpress folder. Its path is now at lilylpod.com/wordpress/lazy-index.php.

    I did change
    <link href=”./wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery/lazy-style.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>

    to

    <link href=”./wordpress/wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery/lazy-style.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>

    after I had received the first error message but that didn’t solve the problem. To sum up, I do have the folders that the error message says doesn’t exist.

    Read the instructions again.

    Well, I appreciate your help. All of you. And I know you do this for free, but is the “read the instructions again” really helpful? What I did do was look through the lazy-gallery.php and found that I needed to name the gallery folder wp-gallery and not simply gallery. With that change, I was able to solve my problem. Thanks.

    Or, as the instructions say:
    “4. Configure the lazy-gallery.php file to match your settings.”
    I assume this means you can define in this file what’s the name of your gallery folder. I don’t use this plugin I just read carefully all the posts from the thread and based on that it was obvious you didn’t follow #4. But even re-reading the lazy-gallery.php was useful at the end – so, yes, my post was helpful ??
