• I’m having trouble adding plugins. I follow the directions to the “T” however I’ve run into some problems. What is happening is that I upload the plugin, delete any white space after the last command and activate it. After activation, the actual script language shows up on my home page.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • A thought ……. are you sure that your ftp client is uploading the plugin (and all .php files) as ASCII ?
    If it goes up as binary, it goes wobbly.

    I wasn’t sure before, however I just re-uploaded it in ASCII format and still the problem persists.
    I sincerely appreciate your help with this Podz.

    Hmm.. gets stranger 🙂
    You are right – no mods are needed other than those directed in a readme.
    What plugins do you have installed that actually work ?

    Anon, how did you save the plugin file onto your desktop computer?
    If it was a phps file to begin with, the best and most trusted way is to copy all the text, open a new blank text file, paste all the code in the new blank file, and save it as somepluginname.php . If you are using notepad or somesuch, make sure it is not named somepluginname.php.txt . Some text editors, like notepad, add a .txt to the end.
    Some plugin authors might choose to display the code as a phps file, and just saving and renaming the file might not be enough to ensure that it becomes a .php file, in some cases.

    All of the plugins that came with WordPress work as well Podz.
    I saved this file as a .php file AND made sure that it was a .php in Dreamweaver and my FTP program.

    Tried PSPad and re-uploaded ASCII format and still have the script listed.

    Anon – if you would give me the details, I would be happy to login to your blog / webspace and try and see what is wrong ? Something very strange seems to be going on, and I could use a plugin from my site which I know works to try and track this little gremlin down.

    Sorted.
    Problem was that page source had been copied, not the code itself.
