 * Well, that was useful.
 * What I meant to type was:
 * plugins directory not available in admin interface
 * The directory is there. The plugin files are there. I’ve set the permissions 
   to 777 just to be sure. No joy. I get the “Couldn’t open plugins directory or
   there are no plugins available” message.
 * This was mentioned in another post, but the author was able to see a few plugins
   in the interface, but not others. I don’t see any. Any ideas?

 * Where are your plugins installed? As in full URL to one of your plugin files,
   for instance.

 * If I try to access that file directly — which shouldn’t be allowed by _WordPress_,
   but should be allowed by the _web server_ — I get a 403 forbidden error. What
   are the permissions of the “adhesive.php” file? Everyone, or at least the web
   server process which is likely either “everyone” or your user id depending on
   your hosting provider, needs to have read access for it to work.

 * Okay, thanks! It’s working now.
 * I went back up in the directory structure and set /wordpress to 775, then /wp-
   content to 775, then /plugins to 775, then the plugin files to 666.
 * The admin interface now has access.
