Plugins won’t show in admin panel

  • I just installed a fresh copy of 2.8 and uploaded all of my old plugins via FTP. However, they don’t display in my plugin management page at all. I have already cleared my browsers cache and turned off Gears but neither has helped.

    Does anyone know what is wrong or how to fix this issue? Thanks!

  • Have you checked to see if they’re compatible with WP 2.8?

    Hi,

    First disable all installed plugins and then install the/activate the plugin on one by one to find out the culprit..and also check the plugins compatibility with wordpress 2.8…

    Thanks,

    Hi Shane,

    How can I disable the plugins since I can’t see them on my installed page?

    Thanks.

    What exactly did you upload into the plugins folder? Zip files or individual plugin folders/files?

    I have both zip and folders/files? But I also have plugins that I installed directly from wordpress plugin search tool. Does that help?

    Not really. Can you FTP into your site and see exactly what is in the wp-content/plugins folder?

    Yes I can. If I gave you a list of them, would that help? I really appreciate your help.

    Shouldn’t need a list. Just tell me if you can:

    1. See individual folders within the wp-content/plugins folder
    2. See at least 1 or more PHP files within each of the individual folders

    Are any plugins appearing on your Plugins page?

    1. I see individual folders within wp-content/plugins folder.
    2. Yes, at least 1 PHP file in each folder.
    I do have 3 single PHP files (ex. pagesplus.php) within my wp-content/plugins folder.

    I can’t see any plugins on my “installed plugin page” it just reads Manage Plugins at the top and blank after that, I can see all of them on the “editor plugin page” tho.

    I think the culprit plugin is Organize Series, Category Post or Social Bookmarks. I now realize they are not compatible with WP 2.8.

    Try renaming the plugins folder via FTP. Then move the plugins across to a new plugins folder 1 by 1 – activating each one after installation and then refreshing the Manage Plugins page. Leave the 3 you mentioned alone for now.

    Let me know how you get on.

    YES!!!! That worked. I moved the plugins back one-by-one except the one I think was causing this (organize-series).

    Thanks so much! I think I learned my lesson of not installing plugins that aren’t compatible with the WordPress version I am using..

    Excellent! ??
