If it’s this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cache/
You should have a folder called wp-content/plugins/wp-cache and under that folder you should have 6 files (includes the README.TXT file).
You may also need to set your folder permissions on wp-content/plugins/wp-cache to 777.
See Changing File Permissions.
I have several plugins already installed and working. However, when I upload these new ones: add-meta-tags-1.6, another-wordpress-meta-plugin, simple tags.1.2.4; they do not show in WP Plugins with the others.
I know the others are working so why can’t I see the new ones? I’m using WP 2.2
Thanks
I see the errors of my ways! I’m not quite sure what I’m doing wrong when I download them but will take a closer look tomorrow. Got to go get ready for guests. Thanks again.
Just curious, how did you get those urls you showed me?
what do you mean — how did i get them? I expect them to be there, thats how wordpress works.
Look here:
http://www.weirdthingsthathappened.com/wp-content/plugins/
thats a normal wordpress install.
IF youre worried about the fact that that directory is browsable like that create a file on your desktop, put this inside it:
<?php
?>
name it index.php and upload it to wp-content/plugins/
I didn’t mention the url of my website but you were able to find it. That’s what I wondered about. But then, I guess you went into my profile and found it?
I’m a little concerned about anyone being able to browse the directory, but it sure came in handy when I needed help. Could someone mess something up if they wanted to? I’m really new to WordPress and every day is a learning experience.
There’s something about the way I unzip those downloads that is making that extra folder. I figured out how to do it correctly, thank you.
If you are concerned – follow homeycomb’s advice above.
I don’t know of any case of messing up things through this way… but anyway, not showing a directory index is always a healthy choice 🙂
I followed homeycomb’s advice. How do I know it’s working?
And, is it safe to upgrade to 2.3? I’m too much of a novice to fix anything that messes up.
