 * I mistakenly deleted of my wp-admin files..When I upload them again i tried to
   acess the plugins directory…I go this message
    _Plugins are files you usually
   download seperately from WordPress that add functionality. To install a plugin
   you generally just need to put the plugin file into your wp-content/plugins directory.
   Once a plugin is installed, you may activate it or deactivate it here._ Couldn’t
   open plugins directory or there are no plugins available. I tried Chomed plugins.
   php it don’t work.. If anyone could give me some help i would appreciate it alot..

 * Do you see the plugins that come with wp already ?
    Using ftp, can you open wp-
   content/plugins ?

 * Upload the plugins that you need to the wp-content/plugins folder and then try
   accessing the plugins page through the admin interface.

 * My guess would be that a file is missing from /wp-admin ?

 * similar threads in the support forum:

   [http://wordpress.org/support/3/6729](http://wordpress.org/support/3/6729) all
   point towards a permissions problem. I tried setting the permissions again, to
   755, taking care to include all `wp-content` files and subdirectories and this
   time it *did* fix things. I must have missed one last time.
