# Can’t install/see plugins..

 * Help!
 * I have been trying to install the post-teaser plugin for my website. However,
   when placing the appropriate php file in my wp-content/plugins directory, I go
   to my Dashboard –> Plugins thingo and it’s not there! Just the default Hello 
   Dolly, Markdown etc..
 * I have checked all permissions on all directories, i.e. set wp-content AND plugins
   to 777 (overkill I know), but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
 * Anyone got any ideas?

 * Does the plugin in question have the required head-comments like the other plugins?
   Can we see the source of the plugin?

 * Above is copied to a file called post-teaser.php in my wp-content/plugins directory.
   I’ve also tried installing matt’s blogtimes plugin, and a few others, all with
   same effect: they don’t show up.
