    Sir,

    New to the forum. Its a great place to be and i love it.

    Well, its my own fault but then i need some help. Actually, i mistakenly deleted the /wordpress/wp-content/plugin from my Ftp ( Filezilla) and all the plugins in my wordpress blog where automatically deleted.

    1) When i tried to upload a new plugin, i get this error message….> “Unable to locate WordPress Plugin directory. Installation Failed.”

    2) I did create a new plugin directory on my ftp but when i double click on “Plugin” , i get this error message …..> Failed to retrieve directory listing. I am totally lost as all my pugins are all gone and i can’t upload new ones.

    Could somebody please help me fix this problem.

    Thanks

    Biggs

    Download the WordPress distribution from the Download tab at the top of this page and extract the files and upload the wp-content/plugins folder from that.

    Also review WordPress Backups so you won’t get thrown in a position without backups again.

    There is a solution from a user here called “mcarretero” post link is here , his fix was to add this code 

    if(is_admin()) {
	add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "direct";' ));
	define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0751 );
}

    to the your wp-config.php file. I had the same problem and this fixed it for me.
