#3269 closed defect (bug) (worksforme)

New plugins don't show up in plugin list

Description

New plugins don't show up in plugin list : if you add new plugins to your wp-content/plugins/ directory, they do not show up in /wp-admin/plugins.php, meaning you cannot enable them with one click.

You can still enbling them by modifying the URL by hand though.

This works fine for me.

Can you provide the plugin(s) it doesn't work for as attachments here for us to test with.

This is most likely a permissions or server issue. I have multiple installs on many, many servers of multiple OSes and none of them have any issues. If this was a global problem, we would have heard from the millions of people out there running WordPress.

Gonna close this as this is more a support request than a bug report. Now of course if you solve the issue and it was as the result of a bug in WordPress rather than your server being wonky, then please reopen this ticket with more details. :)

Viper, you're right : it does not happen with all plugins. Here are the plugins which do not show up in the plugins list :

I thought maybe it's because they sit in directories but I have other plugins in directories and they behave normally. Directories have sensible names (archives, widgets). File permissions are 644 for every plugin.

Ps : I made no attachment as these plugins contain several files. Hope I did right.

Oh, you have some plugins show up but not others? Gotcha.

Rename your plugins folder to like plugins-old and then make a new plugins folder. Does adding plugins to this fresh folder make them show up?

However, again, this really should be a discussion for ​wordpress.org/support/ rather than here because this is a support issue, not a bug report. But whatever, I don't wanna get in a close/open war. ;)

Thanks for the tip Viper ! Apparently there was a conflict between plugins : cleaning up and deleting the unused plugins that were sitting in the directory did the trick. The 2 plugins mentioned above re-appeared by magic.

I'm closing this thread (is there any way to remove it ?). Thanks again.
