 * Hey Mary, last post, promise…
 * Your file manager on your server, have you refreshed the view? Is it showing 
   you the latest view?
 * If it’s not in there, you may be ftp’ing all those files some place else! Your
   ftp program is not complaining? It’s happily putting those files where if not
   where you think it is?
 * As far as the error you have, it appears to be all about this one file.
    Sometimes,
   because of ‘group’ issues, you have to delete files from your hosting account’s
   file manager, and ftp the new files. Sometimes, the host server won’t let the
   ftp overwrite files and it will fail silently! That’s why it’s often best to 
   manually delete the destination files before pushing new ones, especially since(
   unless you look beforehand) you never know when the developers stop using an 
   old file and delete it from the zip -but it’s still on your host…
 * Worse comes to worse, risk group issues and upload that damn file manually in
   your server filemanager…
 * G’Night!

 * My last post too…promise…cuz I figured it out!!! The wp-admin, wp-content and
   wp-includes files need to be in the public_html directory DIRECTLY…they were 
   in the public_html/wordpress/ file. But it works! Yeah! Thanks for your help!

 * go to ur server, and reach the wp-contents folder
 * Now rename the folder “plugins” to sth else like “plugs”

   give username & password..YOU ARE DONE!!!!!!!
 * Now go back to server again…rename plugs back to plugins
