And thank you — it’s working now!

OH thank GOD those plugins are still there!!
Still working through this — not done yet.

OK, first of all, I’m sorry if it sounded like a know it all — because I’m clearly not, especially when it comes to wordpress. But plugins are something that I THOUGHT I did know how to do, as I’ve done many in the past. I didn’t want to appear too slow… And I am grateful to you for your help.

I deleted the file, and uploaded it to: /wordpress/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/

On the left side, my hard drive side, the file I uploaded was: wp-phpmyadmin_v2-8-2.

However — once complete, the left side, the wordpress side, under /wordpress/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
now shows, ONLY wp-phpmyadmin_v2-8-2. None of the other plug ins I’ve installed are there. (Mild heart attack.) But if I go to my plug-in admin panel — they are still there.

Thanks,

It’s showing up right under social bookmarks — which is an active plug-in, currently in use.

Not sure what you mean — should it be under wp-content?
Thanks,

https://install4free.wordpress.com/ — it’s a service offered on the WordPress documentation pages.

My thought is if the install for free 2.1.2 is incomplete — wouldn’t downloading the same file create the same errors?
As this wasn’t an upgrade — it was a clean 1st time install.

I didn’t upgrade — I used the install for free — the new version. But — do you think I should re-install everything?

Sorry, I am using the newest version, 2.1.2 How do I let the site, https://www.feedbase.net/Add.php know that I am using the latest version — it’s not accepting my feed.
Thanks,

Just a follow-up on the reason my settings weren’t working, and the web host’s were:
You had set the permissions correctly on the initial folder, however I don’t believe that setting the permissions on a folder in Filezilla will allow you to set the permissions for the files and folders BENEATH it (i.e. they will not inherit the permissions you set).

You could try using a different FTP program, such as SmartFTP, which may allow you to set permissions recursively.

Hope the sandwich was good.

I contacted my host, https://www.webstrikesolutions.com and this was their response:
“Your chmod permissions were not recursive, so the individual themes and files did not havce correct 777 permissions. I have made all files and directories under themes chmod 777 now.”
I’m not sure why my changes to 777 did not work and theirs did work — but everything is fine now.

OK — I’ll check into that. Now that I’ve learned to edit through filezilla — it’s really not that bad.

But I’m wondering — will I have more problems down the road that I’m not aware of yet?

I’m sorry = filezilla

I am using FTP. I am willing to reinstall — however, after I had the same problem, I had install4free do it this morning, and they got the same error.
Do you think it’s worth re-installing?

Thanks for your help, doodlebee. (Geesh, that’s fun to say.)
I changed the theme folder:
746 created an error, and wiped out all themes
777 did not make them editable
755 still did not make them editable.

Any other numbers I could try?
Thanks
