    Hi there I have just uploaded the wp-polls plugin into the wpcontent/plugins directory on the server but when I go to activate it, the plugin doesnt show up in the listing. Any idea what can be causing this problem? I am using the latest version of the plugin.

    deactivate and activate it again. Make sure there that there is no nested folder like /wp-polls/wp-polls/. It should be just /wp-polls/

    Hey Gamerz, thanks for the response. Its not nested but the bigger problem is that it doesnt show up in the admin > plugins area to be activated. Any ideas why?

    I have not encountered this problem before maybe you want to try to delete the plugin and upload it again.

    you prolly shouldnt be. that plugin isnt uploaded to the correct place.

    Lol Whooami you've gat jokes. I like you. For the record though im not getting paid for this. Im not even a web designer. Can you forgive me for that? Pardon my lack of expertise. Not all of us can be as brilliant as you. Hahah thanks though. You did make me smile but give a sista a break ok.

    Ok so I didnt upload it to that folder? Is that what you're telling me because Im looking at it now and its there.

    Hey guys i thanks for the help. Its really odd I look at the files in the folder and they are there but they are just not showing up on the site. Im thinking of uninstalling the entire thing and starting afresh. Thanks again though. Whooami you really are a funny dude/gal.

    I have this same problem. I'm not a total noobie really, but feel that maybe my problem is somewhere backend like SQL or something?

    Anyway, everything is uploaded to the correct folder

    (wp-polls.php is in /wp-content/plugins/wp-polls)

    I've tried deleting the folder, redownloading the archive, and reuploading the folder. Nothing seems to work... Any ideas?
