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! šŸ™‚ Goodbye floating playerā€¦deletedā€¦ * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Where is my Nextgen gallery page?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-where-is-my-nextgen-gallery-page/) * Thread Starter [TWalker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twalker/) * (@twalker) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-where-is-my-nextgen-gallery-page/#post-2091328) * I did find an option to create pages so that will work for now. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Not a single plug-in will show up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-single-plug-in-will-show-up/) * Thread Starter [TWalker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twalker/) * (@twalker) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-single-plug-in-will-show-up/#post-1586907) * It 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. Iā€™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 whoā€™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 upā€¦if I knew anyone but that too may be a waste of time. I could have coded a decent HTML site by now. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Not a single plug-in will show up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-single-plug-in-will-show-up/) * Thread Starter [TWalker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twalker/) * (@twalker) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-single-plug-in-will-show-up/#post-1586903) * I 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 cpā€¦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 ā€˜settingsā€ 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 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Not a single plug-in will show up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-single-plug-in-will-show-up/) * Thread Starter [TWalker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twalker/) * (@twalker) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-single-plug-in-will-show-up/#post-1586891) * Yes 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 donā€™t care, I can reinstall the site, it is less than a day old and no real content. * email me at innercirclenews at gmail * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Not a single plug-in will show up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-single-plug-in-will-show-up/) * Thread Starter [TWalker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twalker/) * (@twalker) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-a-single-plug-in-will-show-up/#post-1586888) * As 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 wonā€™t even use its own plug-ins. I donā€™t have days to work on it. If WordPress is that hard to work with I will use something else. * Thanks Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total)
