 * I’ve followed the instructions and have unzipped in my cPanel file manager (blue
   host) yet it doesn’t show up in my plugins page on WP.org. I’m not quite sure
   what I’ve done wrong. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

 * You need to move the stats directoy into your plugins directory.

 * It’s already in the plugins directory on Blue Host, it just isn’t showing up 
   on my plugins page on WP.org.

 * Some plugins require that the extracted folder be in the plugins folder, others
   require that a folder or file within that folder be in the plugins folder. Make
   sure you have the right files in the right places and, if the plugin is a good
   one, it will show up.
