Description

My client has a wordpress install hosted on a godaddy server below is the conversation I was having with a wordpress moderator. It seems to think that the plugins are in a directory that does not exists. I am looking for someone to either fix the problem in the current installation, or do a server migration to my server re upload the contents of the website as is to the new installation. Please bid on the first, and give me a quote for the second. You will have access to both new and old server for this project.

I am having an issue adding new plugins to a clients wordpress. All there old plugins are recognized but I cannot add any new ones. They do not show up in the plugins in the admin. Even if I go through the plugin adder in the control panel. I think it is because it thinks the plugin directory on my server is
/var/www/vhosts/journalofnursingjocularity.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins

Trouble that file hierarchy does not exist on my server, at least not right now. Where in my wordpress do I go to change what the CMS thinks is the proper plugin folder. I know it will be in the code, but I do not know which php file or database.

Don't suppose you have it defined in your wp-config.php file with WP_CONTENT_DIR or PLUGINDIR?

it didnt do the trick, I added these to the config file

define( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR', '/wp-content/plugins');

define( 'PLUGINDIR', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-content/plugins' );
define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', '/wp-content');

and it is still a no go. The thing I cant figure out is that some of the plugins in that file work and show up in plugins admin, but even when I go to the plugin directory plugin adder in the admin, I get a file does not exist error when I go to activate after download.

I wasn't necessarily advocating adding your wp-config.php but rather wondering if you had those 'defines' there...

Are you sure you have the plugins in the proper directory structure within the wp-content/plugins folder...like this for the plugin evermore:

wp-content/plugins/evermore/evermore.php
wp-content/plugins/evermore/Readme.txt

absolutely!

My problem is that on the admin plugin page, the CMS is say it thinks my plugin directory is what was mentioned in my first post. The trouble is that I do not even have a httpdocs directory on my server! I am thinking there has to be something screwy in the code
