 * Not sure what happened, but I lost all my plugins. But I succenly got a long 
   list of red errors for all my plugins. And they were gone from ADMIN.
 * If I try to install one of them anew it fails saying that it is already in your
   plugin directory. And indeed, I can see them all there in FTP. They have disappeared
   from ADMIN though and i cant figure out how to get them back in. What a mess 
   the website is! Any help would sure be cool! Thanks
    I have Godaddy ePanel and
   newest wp. rackjite.com Kicker

 * Try renaming the plugins folder to plugins.HOLD – wait a few minutes and then
   change it back. Does that change anything?

 * Also, check the file permissions on that folder.

 * Thanks for the response!! Before I read your replies I deleted the plugins FTP
   and installed them again. Most of them came back with the old settings which 
   was odd.
    A problem still lingers, as it seems it was SUPER CACHE that did me
   in. Something to do with hitting the MINIFY button that came up I think. Now 
   I can’t get rid of supercache errors all over the place. even if I delete the
   plugin from ADMIN and DELETE from FTP, the errors linger. Even at the top of 
   the website. `define( 'WPCACHEHOME', '/home/rackjite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/
   wp-super-cache/' ); //Added by WP-Cache Manager Paste your Google Webmaster Tools
   verification code here`
 * Thats the one on the website. This is the one in ADMIN
 *     ```
       define( 'WPCACHEHOME', '/home/rackjite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/' ); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
       Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/rackjite/public_html/wp-config.php:2) in /home/rackjite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/adsense-now-lite/EzTran.php on line 184
       ```
   
 * Do I need to move this post to PLUGINS?
 * Thanx Kicker

 * Please ignore the above.
 * Thanks for the response!! Before I read your replies I deleted the plugins by
   FTP and installed them again. They came back with the old settings which was 
   odd. There lingered SUPER CACHE errors which made a mess of things but it did
   basically work. This morning I deactivated one and they all disappeared again.
   This time I captured the error which was the same for all of them in a long list
 * `The plugin adsense-now-lite/adsense-now-lite.php has been deactivated due to
   an error: The plugin does not have a valid header.`
 * And I have SUPER CACHE errors all over the place no matter it too is gone, or
   I delete it from FTP, the catch errors
 *     ```
       define( 'WPCACHEHOME', '/home/rackjite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/' ); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
       Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/rackjite/public_html/wp-config.php:2) in /home/rackjite/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1178
       ```
   
 * WHAT A MESS! Thanx for any help…

 * Can you install and reactive SuperCache? If that works, go into the settings 
   and find “Delete Cache” or “Clear Cache”.
 * Otherwise, see if there’s any documentation on that plugin’s page(s) to help 
   you get that fixed.
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/installation/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/installation/)
 * See the other tabs for FAQ and Notes as well.
 * Also, check your .htaccess file – it may have code added by SuperCache.
