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
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.
