 * Hi all!
 * I have just downloaded the zip files for the plugins, unzipped on my computer
   and uploaded the folders for each plugin I wish to use. Then I went to the dashboard
   >plugins and none of them show up!
 * What am I doing wrong?
 * Kel

 * “Uploaded” where?
    They should be in example.com/wp-content/plugins/ folder. 
   Also, note that some plugins are only one file – no own directory.

   to members, and optimization ones for getting traffic. But NONE of them showed
   up! Not ONE!

 * The names of the plugins (just to name a few) are
 * bm-custom-login
    semisecure-login.1.0.3 mailout edit-comments email-users.2.5
   wp-opt-in.0.8 wp-sticky.1.10 wp-useronline.2.20 wpmailing wp-footnotes.2.2 wordpress-
   password-register.2.0 subscribe-to-comments
 * as I said, these are just a few.
    the ones with single files in the folder are
   added to the contents>plugins folder whereas the plugins with more than one file
   are put into the same folder BUT all files are kept in their folder together.
 * I used filezilla to upload
 * So what is the problem?
