Plugins Issue – Options not showing in dashboard

  • I am the administrator. No, I am not on wordpress.com. The site is running via my own hosting. PHP v5.2.11. All other dashboard admin functions/options work. Only the Plugins dropdown is missing Add New.

    I manually ftp’ed a plugin into the wp-content/plugins directory and it doesn’t show up. I see no Add New or Installed options under Plugins. Just Plugins and Editor. I deleted the two stock plugins that were in there and showed in the listing.

    Database is mySQL v5.0.92-community
    Checking Database

    gwenimag_wp1 is now being checked.

    gwenimag_wp1.wp_commentmeta OK
    gwenimag_wp1.wp_comments OK
    gwenimag_wp1.wp_links OK
    gwenimag_wp1.wp_options OK
    gwenimag_wp1.wp_postmeta OK
    gwenimag_wp1.wp_posts OK
    gwenimag_wp1.wp_term_relationships OK
    gwenimag_wp1.wp_term_taxonomy OK
    gwenimag_wp1.wp_terms OK
    gwenimag_wp1.wp_usermeta OK
    gwenimag_wp1.wp_users OK
    Check Complete

    I’m at a loss. I checked the permissions for plugins php files and they are all 644 as they should be. 744 and 755 didn’t help.

    Anybody have a suggestion?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Well, there are no active plugins and I removed every plugin from the plugins directory so, that’s not it. And yes, “active_plugins” is set to a:0:{}.

    I can try swapping themes I guess.
