 * When I try to upload any wordpress plugin after downloading it and extracting
   it, I go to the Plugins menu and the plugins aren’t there! Also, when I try to
   load a plugin through the ‘Add New’ page, it won’t install the plugin.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

 * Nope, none of the plugins I had uploaded appeared and switching themes didn’t
   help either. I’m considering doing a WordPress re-install or just waiting the
   problem out until the 3.0 update in April. Any other ideas?

 * You are uploading them to the correct folder, right? 🙂 What happens if you try
   and install them directly in WordPress (Plugins > Add New)?

 * There aren’t any known plugin bugs in WP 2.9.2 so I don’t think WP 3.0 is going
   to be any better. The issue is something to do with your site and/or the way 
   in which you’re uploading plugins.

 * I use FireFTP to upload to a 1&1 server. And I am uploading it to the plugins
   folder. I’m wondering if its something to do with 1&1. I’ve tried FileZilla but,
   I says connection timed out. Also, when I go to get the same plugin off of Add
   New,it claims the plugin is installed and at the latest version.
