 * This is probably a very stupid question and I hope you don’t ban me from this
   forum for asking it:
 * Where are the plugins that I have uploaded?
 * They are not in the plugin section on my blog.

 * plugins go here
 * wp-config.php <– this tells you youre at the root of your WP install
    /wp-includes//
   wp-admin/ /wp-content/ | plugins/ <———————— themes/
 * Do NOT upload them to www/so on and so on
 * www is a symlink, follow the ACTUAL path to your plugins directory when you are
   uploading.

 * The path that I followed is the one that is being offered to me in FTP. Which
   is: public html > blog > wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes is in the same
   file. Plugins is inside of wp-includes. How do I change it to look like above.
   I am not a technical person.

 * wp-includes is a folder (or directory) it cannot be in any “file”.
 * wp-admin
    wp-content wp-includes – all should be on the same level, not in “each
   other”.
 * If they are not like that – your install is screwed up.
    Delete and re-upload.

 * the above is what you are aiming for.
 * note that the top level wordpress folder is JUST a folder.. it could be the root
   of your site. Its the stuff inside there in the image that you need to pay attention
   to.
 * scubadiver, The way youve apparantly installed things its no wonder anything 
   works at all.

 * wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes is on the same level. I am still learning
   the lingo. plugins is in the wp-included directory. Is this right? If so, why
   aren’t they showing up in the plugin file on my blog?

 * No, folder plugins must be in folder wp-content.
