I do, I’m just saying if you placed them in folders called contents you’re not going to have a whole lot of success.
That said, what does appear in your Plugins admin interface? Which plugins do show up?
It works fine on my local install, since that’s where it was developed.
The plugin doesn’t diddle with core files, it just replaces a theme file. Is that the same? I thought theme files were less problematic to mess around with.
If any of you can present me with a “friendly” way to get wordpress to read a different file than comments.php for the comments functions, I’ll be happy to implement it.
Have you checked the permissions on the plugin file?

Hello ColdForged and Brian
Thanks very much for your assistance and patience!
ColdForged, Pretty much every plugin I copy into the “plugins” Folder are displayed in the Plugins Admin interface. It is now populated with the default distribution, (plus BriansThreadedComments, Hurrah! )
Brian, it seems as if the file’s permissions were the culprit. I changed it to be RWRWRW and it now does show up. One problem gone, it seems.
I then madde a duplicate of the default theme (changed it’s name so it got recognizable) and pasted ‘comment.php’ into that folder.
Once active, the whole footer — after the “This entry was posted on …” part — was gone. Here too, it was a mere permissions-issue (it was RWRW–), as soon as I changed it to be RWRWR-, all is fine.
I now experience the warm feeling of what it is to be a happy camper…
Again, thanks very much for helping me out on this issue!
