first of all, the plugins cannot be accessed directly using a path
now do this
1) place ur plugin files in the following path http://lilylpod.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
2) login to ur wordpress and goto the plugins section
3) Ur new plugins shall be detected and displayed here
4) activate ur new plugins
*Note: all plugins require some sort of a php code to be inserted in ur template, read the help files accompanying the plugin.
Have you followed the instructions found here:

One step involves creating a directory for Lazy Gallery, which is what the errors on your Page are pointing out (it doesn’t exist):
“Warning: opendir(/home/lilylpod/public_html/wordpress/wp-gallery/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory…”
I have done the things suggested in the prior two posts before posting. I created a folder called lazy-gallery (actually, I just copied the contents of the unzipped file into the plugins folder via SmartFTP)
path: lilylpod.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery.
The plugin is recognized in the Plugins Section of the wordpress Dashboard/Admin panel. I did press “activate”
It was after these steps that I tried to access the lazy-index.php file which I had moved from the lazy-gallery folder to the wordpress folder. Its path is now at lilylpod.com/wordpress/lazy-index.php.
I did change
<link href=”./wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery/lazy-style.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>
to
<link href=”./wordpress/wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery/lazy-style.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>
after I had received the first error message but that didn’t solve the problem. To sum up, I do have the folders that the error message says doesn’t exist.
Read the instructions again.
Well, I appreciate your help. All of you. And I know you do this for free, but is the “read the instructions again” really helpful? What I did do was look through the lazy-gallery.php and found that I needed to name the gallery folder wp-gallery and not simply gallery. With that change, I was able to solve my problem. Thanks.
Or, as the instructions say:
“4. Configure the lazy-gallery.php file to match your settings.”
I assume this means you can define in this file what’s the name of your gallery folder. I don’t use this plugin I just read carefully all the posts from the thread and based on that it was obvious you didn’t follow #4. But even re-reading the lazy-gallery.php was useful at the end – so, yes, my post was helpful 🙂
