 * hi! I tried for the first time to install plugins to wordpress MU, I transfered
   them by ftp in the pluging direcory and one in the MU plugin directory but I 
   can’t manage them to activate them, becouse it says:
 * Manage Plugins
 * Plugins extend and expand the functionality of WordPress. Once a plugin is installed,
   you may activate it or deactivate it here.
 * You do not appear to have any plugins available at this time.
 * why?? what can I do?? thanck you

 * Hi surferbloggy. This is the forum for single WP, the WPMU forum is at [http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/](http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/)
   
   Having said that, read the plugin instructions re WHERE to install the plugins–
   either in /mu-plugins/ or /plugins/ folder. Some require FTP upload to the first
   folder, others in the plugins folder and some in both. Note that plugins installed
   in mu-plugins folder won’t appear in Plugins-Installed page. Cheers.
