Unable to see plugins and themes in control panel

    I have just set up WordPress for the first time. It is working in the default theme. I then downloaded ePhoto theme, and followed the instructions to upload the plugins and theme.

    The ftp directory can be seen at:
    [url]https://mindstormphoto.com/Screen_shot_plugin_dir.png[/url]

    which I believe shows the plugins and theme in the proper place. I then go to the WP control panel, plugins section. I see the ‘Lightroom 2’ plugin, but neither the ‘WP Page Navi’ nor ‘Wp Post Ratings’ plugins show up. Here is a screenshot of the plugins control:

    When I go the themes, I see 23 themes made available by my ISP, but I do not see ‘ePhoto’ in the set, though the first screenshot above shows that it is in the themes folder.

    What have I done wrong, and how do I get access to these plugins and theme???

    First off, you shouldn’t have BOTh an index.htm and index.php in that www folder ?? But that’s not thr problem.

    The shot shows that you also have a folder on www called mindstormstudio.com (https://mindstormphoto.com/Screen_shot_plugin_dir.png has that at the top-ish). Perhaps THAT’S where WP is installed?

    Bingo! Thanks – that was exactly the problem. I had installed WP into the wrong folder, and it had not worked. When I asked my host ISP about the database problem, they responded that they had fixed the database issue.

    They didn’t say that they reinstalled WP into the mindstormphoto subfolder, but when I checked, that was exactly what they had done.

    I have now deleted the superfluous WP (and the extra index.html), put the plugins and theme in the proper place, and all is well with the world.

    Thanks again!
