 * If you dropped *folders* in the mu-plugins folder, they don’t get read. has to
   be actual files.
 * If you want to keep them in folders, then make a file with an include.

 * Just make a php file in the mu-plugins folder, then it would look something like
   this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       include ('plugin_folder_name/file_name.php');
       ?>
       ```
   
 * You would have an include line for each file.

 * Also note, plugins in mu-plugins are active across the network, not just for 
   the super-admin. Every site they will be executed. They might not show up in 
   any menus, but they are certainly there.
