# Missing plugins in subdirectory site

 * Hello,
    I installed plugins in multisite and network activated them. Install 
   plugins are only showing under my primary domain (example.com), but not for the
   subdirectory site (example.com/blog). My subdirectory seems not being linked 
   to the multisite. I had to install the exact plugins that I did with the multisite
   again for my subdirectory site. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

 * Sounds like you have WordPress installed on the subdirectory and the root or 
   main directory. That’s not how multisite works.
 * You may have installed multisite on that root directory but your server configuration
   is pointing to that subdirectory for the subsite instead of the directory where
   the multisite might be installed.
 * Read over this article to get a better idea on multisite then hit us up with 
   any questions you might have to get your sites sorted out.
