Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Floating Video Player] What Activate Link?Yea what activate link! WordPress biggest failure in my opinion is lack of instruction for plugins included in the plugin download. I have given up and deleted countless plugins simply from getting tired of Googling/Searching for instructions on how to operate plugins! drives me nuts! 🙂 Goodbye floating player…deleted…
I did find an option to create pages so that will work for now.

In reply to: Not a single plug-in will show upIt looks like the plug ins I want come with extensive directions about editing files on the server, copying files and setting permissions etc etc. Not at all what I expected from a complete package.
Not worth my time. I’m almost 12 hours in and not even near getting one plug in to work. The free blogspot I set up the other took minutes to learn. I would never recommend this for someone who’s time valuable. Maybe this is why I got tired of CMS sites.
On the other hand I would consider paying someone to set it up…if I knew anyone but that too may be a waste of time. I could have coded a decent HTML site by now.

In reply to: Not a single plug-in will show upI opened another hosting account to test another WP install but had trouble with MYSQL.
I then found a demo on open source cms and installed and activated plug-ins though the admin cp…still no plug-ins!
I must be missing something. I install>activate>look for any settings the plug-in might need by clicking edit on the plug-ins page or looking under ‘settings” in admin.
What am I missing. Can someone give me a step by step on what they do to get plug-ins to show up?
Thanks

In reply to: Not a single plug-in will show upYes in Twenty Ten too. The first plug-in asked me to add code to a template file, I did. Others were just straight forward admin panel installs with extra instructions.
Would anyone be willing to log-in and look? Install any plug-in you want, make a mess I don’t care, I can reinstall the site, it is less than a day old and no real content.

In reply to: Not a single plug-in will show upAs far as I can tell but this is my first WP site. I have extensive experience with PHP content management sites though. The admin panel etc seems pretty straight forward as many I have used before, probably much better than most.
I activated them deactivated them etc. I would think if it was installed within the admin panel and basic instructions followed I would see some sign of the plug in.
I really hate this because I put a lot of consideration into using WP and choosing a theme, in fact I bought hosting specifically designed for WordPress but it is not of any use to me if it won’t even use its own plug-ins. I don’t have days to work on it. If WordPress is that hard to work with I will use something else.
Thanks
