 * So, I’ve had my site for a few months and I’ve tried installing plugins on several
   occasions – first, Jetpack when I first started up and more recently stuff like
   Google Analytics and Yoast.
 * Every time, the plugin installs fine, and seems to activate fine, but when I 
   go back to my dashboard there’s nothing there… I have like eight plugins installed
   now, but I can’t use any of them, it’s as though they were never installed.
 * I’ve come across a couple of vague possible reasons for this during my intense
   googling sessions, but I’m a bit useless when it comes to HTML & stuff and I 
   just wouldn’t know where to start in solving the problem, if I did indeed know
   what it was.
 * Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmy-plugins-wont-work%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I realize that this may not be that useful since I am showing a plugin to install,
   but this plugin:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   If it works ? Will probably help you.
 * Otherwise enable debugging in your wp-config.php file:
    Find the line: `define('
   WP_DEBUG', false);` Comment it out by preceeding it with // then add this line:`
   define('WP_DEBUG', true);` Be sure to revert to the original settings when you
   are done for security and efficiency reasons.
