Plugins Hiding

Yet in my admin area, under All Plugins

Please describe the folders each are in, the site, and whether it is a multi-site install.

I see you have been posting help here for 5 years. Have you considered hiring an expert?

Single install. All are in /plugins. The site is not for publication. Why hire an expert when folks here are generally helpful at no cost? I want to do things myself. I had over one hundred WordPress sites ten years ago. Near-death illness left me with amnesia. I can refer back here when I asked for help. I used to code. Now I can’t remember simple, daily things.

Am I abusing this site in some way? You called me out in public, basically saying I’m an idiot, yet others post questions often and seemingly are allowed. I ask politely, don’t yell or swear, ask pertinent questions (I hope), yet I’m publically embarrassed for using this Support site for support.

I don’t know you nor do I see why my request garnered your anger.

You’ve done nothing wrong, don’t let that one get to you.

Are you unzipping them and then uploading from your iPad by chance? Be sure there aren’t any nested folders in the un-zipped plugin directories before you upload them. Sometimes after un-zipping them you will see something like.. /plugin_name/plugin_name/plugin_files instead of /plugin_name/plugin_files. Nested or “double” directories can cause an issue sometimes.

Thanks. I didn’t think I had, but …

I upload via Windows on my laptop. I don’t like the FTP programs on the iPad plus I figure if uploading a Windows product, don’t use Apple.

I checked the /plugins folder and saw them. I’ll double-check tomorrow on my laptop. Maybe they’re hiding in a sub folder.

Thanks ??

No, you are not ??

I don’t think @swansonphotos meant that way. He helps out on these forums regularly ??

Now, getting back to the issue you are facing, do you see folders of all these 5 plugins? If they all got installed successfully, they should be located here:

/wp-content/plugins/

To view them, you can use FTP/ SFTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides.

Sorry, I was concentrating on others who litter this forum for help.

@swansonphotos

I’m guessing your choice of words is because English is probably not your primary language. ??

I’m too busy to get into an unwanted pissing match by responding.

I didn’t get to my laptop but just checked the folders: plugins/name-of-plugin/name-of-plugin

I see the issue. I tried to move it up a folder but got a 550 error. Tomorrow I’ll get on the laptop as I can move things using Windows programs easier.

Thanks!
