Title: Plugins not displaying… Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Plugins not displaying… * [scrumpy-uk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scrumpy-uk/) * (@scrumpy-uk) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-not-displaying/) * Been using WP 1.5 for a while now quite happily however I’ve just stumbled upon a problem trying to get the WPG2 plugin to work. * I’ve placed the directory in the right folder but it doesn’t show up so I can activate it. I’ve also added the backup plugin directly into the folder with the other plugins and I get the same thing, nothing showing up. * Any ideas. * Thanks, * Stuart Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-not-displaying/#post-250868) * Do any plugins at all display ? * [Class](https://wordpress.org/support/users/class/) * (@class) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-not-displaying/#post-250869) * Maybe the permissions are wrong? * Thread Starter [scrumpy-uk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scrumpy-uk/) * (@scrumpy-uk) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-not-displaying/#post-250908) * The plugins that come with WP are deactivated and I can see them in my plugins page. The permissions of the new plugins I’ve created in the directory are the same as the ones that show up in the plugins page. * [Cypher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cypher/) * (@cypher) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-not-displaying/#post-250936) * Open the plugin file and look for something like: * ` /* Plugin Name: Hello Dolly Plugin URI: http://wordpress.org/# Description: This is not just a plugin, it symbolizes the hope and enthusiasm of an entire generation summed up in two words sung most famously by Louis Armstrong: Hello, Dolly. When activated you will randomly see a lyric from Hello, Dolly in the upper right of your admin screen on every page.

The header info in the file looks fine and all other plugins show up in the plugin panel – but not this one. I was hoping to have a play with it as the ‘Headline Images’ plugin just wont work for me. * ANy other ideas anyone? * Thread Starter [scrumpy-uk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scrumpy-uk/) * (@scrumpy-uk) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-not-displaying/#post-251008) * The plugin is valid: * [Documentation](http://wpg2.ozgreg.com/), [Support Forums](http://wpg2.ozgreg.com/forums/).

Didn’t have adequate read permissions on the php file, so I guess it got scrambled on the download. You might want to check your permissions on your plugin to make sure. * Thread Starter [scrumpy-uk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scrumpy-uk/) * (@scrumpy-uk) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-not-displaying/#post-251231) * What permissions did you have, I have 644 on all the plugin files in the plugins directory. * [YellowSwordfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yellowswordfish/) * (@yellowswordfish) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugins-not-displaying/#post-251237) * 644 should do the trick. For some reason when I loaded mine up it had lost some of the permissions. So – not the same problem then.
