 * I am sure that there is an answer here in the archives, but I have searched and
   not found any answer. My challenge is two fold: a) I have very little understanding
   of what I am doing and b) I have very little time to gain the understanding.
 * This is my blog: lilylpod.com
 * I have been trying to install two plug ins: weather and lazy gallery.
 * Both times I try to pull up the index pages for the plug ins, I get similar “
   no such file or directory” error messages:
 * [http://lilylpod.com/wordpress/lazy-index.php](http://lilylpod.com/wordpress/lazy-index.php)
 * My wordpress files are installed in a folder called wordpress. Thanks for any
   help.
 * My site has other problems and if anyone would like to paid for helping me out,
   I would sincerely consider this. Thanks!

 * first of all, the plugins cannot be accessed directly using a path
    now do this
   1) place ur plugin files in the following path [http://lilylpod.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/](http://lilylpod.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/)
   2) login to ur wordpress and goto the plugins section 3) Ur new plugins shall
   be detected and displayed here 4) activate ur new plugins
 * *Note: all plugins require some sort of a php code to be inserted in ur template,
   read the help files accompanying the plugin.

 * Have you followed the instructions found here:
 * [http://www.lazyboy.dk/wordpress/?page_id=14](http://www.lazyboy.dk/wordpress/?page_id=14)
 * One step involves creating a directory for Lazy Gallery, which is what the errors
   on your Page are pointing out (it doesn’t exist):
 * “**Warning:** opendir(/home/lilylpod/public_html/wordpress/wp-gallery/): failed
   to open dir: No such file or directory…”

 * I have done the things suggested in the prior two posts before posting. I created
   a folder called lazy-gallery (actually, I just copied the contents of the unzipped
   file into the plugins folder via SmartFTP)
 * path: lilylpod.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery.
    The plugin is 
   recognized in the Plugins Section of the wordpress Dashboard/Admin panel. I did
   press “activate”
 * It was after these steps that I tried to access the lazy-index.php file which
   I had moved from the lazy-gallery folder to the wordpress folder. Its path is
   now at lilylpod.com/wordpress/lazy-index.php.
 * I did change
    <link href=”./wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery/lazy-style.css” rel
   =”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>
 * to
 * <link href=”./wordpress/wp-content/plugins/lazy-gallery/lazy-style.css” rel=”
   stylesheet” type=”text/css”>
 * after I had received the first error message but that didn’t solve the problem.
   To sum up, I do have the folders that the error message says doesn’t exist.

 * Read the instructions again.

 * Well, I appreciate your help. All of you. And I know you do this for free, but
   is the “read the instructions again” really helpful? What I did do was look through
   the lazy-gallery.php and found that I needed to name the gallery folder wp-gallery
   and not simply gallery. With that change, I was able to solve my problem. Thanks.

 * Or, as the instructions say:
    “4. Configure the lazy-gallery.php file to match
   your settings.” I assume this means you can define in this file what’s the name
   of your gallery folder. I don’t use this plugin I just read carefully all the
   posts from the thread and based on that it was obvious you didn’t follow #4. 
   But even re-reading the lazy-gallery.php was useful at the end – so, yes, my 
   post was helpful 🙂
