 * I upgraded to version 2.7, now I cannot find where the plugins are so I can activate
   or manage them, The dashboard is so basic, where would you find where to do this,
   I click on admin and it is only my profile.

 * In you admin area, left side, called Plugins. Or, if you menu is collapsed it
   looks like an electrical plug. Just click it.
