   I'm getting ready to upgrade to 2.2, but first I'm installing the plug-in, WP-phpMyAdmin --should be very easy -- but it's not showing up under my Plug-Ins. I've installed plenty of plug-ins to know how to do this correctly. So, I checked filizeilla, it's there, but not in my plug in panel. I re-read the instructions, and it said, you activate the plug in from the admin panel -- which is what?
   Thanks,

   Not sure what you mean -- should it be under wp-content?
   Thanks,

   It's showing up right under social bookmarks -- which is an active plug-in, currently in use.

   im telling you that you havent uploaded it to where it needs to be -- I have a pretty good idea what you are doing wrong - but before I explain, we are going to let go of the "ive been doing this a long time" feeling, and put on our thinking caps..

   Here is where your sociable plugin is installed to:

   http://www.susiej.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/social_bookmarks/

   See that 403 forbidden? That tells me that that directory exists, BUT that it does NOT have an index.php in it, and that your server is set up to not allow browsing unless an index file exists within a directory.

   Thats called having Options All -Indexes turned on, btw.

   Now, lets look at this again:

   http://www.susiej.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-phpmyadmin/

   Thats clearly a NOT FOUND. Its not there, period, and if it were, you would see it on your plugins page. :)

   -----

   Now, as to what you are doing, what is the path you are uploading to? what PATH do you see in your ftp application?

   OK, first of all, I'm sorry if it sounded like a know it all -- because I'm clearly not, especially when it comes to wordpress. But plugins are something that I THOUGHT I did know how to do, as I've done many in the past. I didn't want to appear too slow... And I am grateful to you for your help.

   I deleted the file, and uploaded it to: /wordpress/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/

   On the left side, my hard drive side, the file I uploaded was: wp-phpmyadmin_v2-8-2.

   However -- once complete, the left side, the wordpress side, under /wordpress/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
   now shows, ONLY wp-phpmyadmin_v2-8-2. None of the other plug ins I've installed are there. (Mild heart attack.) But if I go to my plug-in admin panel -- they are still there.

   Thanks,

   /wordpress/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ <-- and thats not correct.

   Once again, look at the urls im pasting:

   http://www.susiej.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-phpmyadmin/

   the root of a site is "x"

   according to your own web site your plugins belong here:

   x/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/

   Follow?

   You are adding a "wordpress"

   ack .. my last post was apt to confuse you.. when I said the "root of a site" I didnt mean the root of your wordpress install -

   Your install is here:

   x/wordpress/

   x is the absolute web_root that you see when you go in via ftp.

   x is probably public_html or something like that.
