Cannot Access Plugin Directory – Automatically changed directory

    A few days ago I noticed that my plugin directory URL had changed. I was trying to upload a plugin and it wasn’t showing up in the list. Long story short, I ended up doing a fresh re-install of WordPress. I’m still on 2.6 because I go thru my host and they haven’t upgraded yet. Anyway, I was hoping the re-install would fix the plugin directory problem, but it did not.

    The plugin directory has always been the standard /wp-content/plugins.

    The plugin directory now reads something like
    /hermes/web06/b1548/***/blog/wp-content/plugins

    Where the *** is located is a reference to the host name and my user name that I did not wish to share here. blog/wp-content/plugins is correct, but I don’t know about the rest. I have no idea where this /hermes/etc… place is located and I haven’t touched anything to my knowledge to create this. Additionally, I also do not know when this occured because I haven’t touched plugins for awhile.

    Any assistance or direction or thoughts on what might be causing this problem would be so very much appreciated.

    I currently have no plugins running because I cannot re-upload them to the “correct” location after the re-install.

    Thanks in advance for any feedback!

    hermes/web06/b1548/***/blog/wp-content/plugins

    that’s just the names of the server and routes to your root – normal – mine reads nearly the same.
    Try uploading them manually via ftp to your wp-content/plugins folder.

    edit – looked at my business site at Ipower – very similar to you

    Well then maybe that isn’t the exact problem. I have manually used FTP to upload my plugins into wp-content/plugins and they show up there but they do not show up in the WordPress plugin area. All I see is Akismet and Hello Dolly.

    I have uploaded a theme the same way I do plugins and it works fine.

    Any other ideas on why uploaded plugins wouldn’t show up???

    Nevermind. I just messed up uploading the plugins I was trying and didn’t realize they were two levels deep. I believe this is resolved. I believe I did have a problem before the re-install but it is now fixed and its good to know the directory is correct.

    Thanks!
