plugins not appearing in plugin management

  • I am having problems getting plugins to work. I have tried installing many different plugins (YAPB, spell-checker, duh-gallery, many others) and have followed the installation instructions for each. My wp-content/plugins folder currently has the files that came with the WP package (hello, wp-db-backup, and a folder called akismet) and spell-plugin, and duh-gallery. However, the plugins management section always says:

    Couldn’t open plugins directory or there are no plugins available.

    I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! My site is:

    Please help!

    I’m also having issues with images in posts. I select a photo and click upload and, in the browse area, it shows a blank box with the red X. When the post is saved, it doesn’t display the large picture, either, same little red X. It looks like the page is referring to wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dscn1635.thumbnail.jpg. But when I go to my FTP client, there wasn’t even a wp-content/uploads folder. So I greated one with 777 permissions and tried the whole thing again. Still the same. Shouldn’t WP upload the picture to the correct folder automatically? I shouldn’t have to use my FTP program each time I want a picture. What am I doing wrong? Is this problem related to the plugins issue?

    Try this. When you unzip the plugin go to the unzipped folder and check if there is another folder in it. If so this is the one you need to upload.
