Installed plugins list is blank

  • I have a wordpress site hosted on a shared server. Sometimes it happened to me that, when accessing to the “Plugins” section in my installation, I had an error in ALL plugins showing that “the plugin has an invalid header” and they were automatically disabled and removed from the list.

    When this happened the previous times, I just had to re-upload all the plugins folders from a backup and that fixed it, but now, although the folders are into the “Plugins” folder in my server, I can’t see anything, the list is blank. This is a bit weird, anyone knows?

    PS: I don’t have and never had Mailpoet installed so this doesn’t seem to be related to the hack.

    Please explain. How do you know they are in the plugins folder if you can’t see them?

    Hello:
    Sorry if I didn’t explain myself really well:

    I CAN see the plugins folders accessing through ftp, I CAN’T see the plugins in the admin zone of my wordpress installation. I hope that this clears the things a bit.

    Have you tried:
    -deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem (rename the folder via ftp plugins-old). If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
    -switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    I have tried to rename the plugins folder to “plugins-old”, create a new one with the right permissions and upload there the backup of my plugins one by one and my wordpress can’t even detect a single one. I actually have one plugin and wordpress shows that I dont have anyone.
