I go into filezilla and log in and go to wordpress plugins and drag the plugin in, but then when i go to wordpress plugins it isnt there, why not? Thanks
have you copied the plugins to plugin directory ? the plugin folder would be something like wp-content/plugins/ folder What is the plugin you are trying to add ?
The default path to the plugin folder is "wp-content/plugins". Did you unzip the plugin before uploading and then uploaded the unzipped folder? Make sure that your plugin-files aren't nested in a folder. Like "/veryniceplugin/veryniceplugin/verynice.php"
Most surely the folder is inside another folder. Browse into it and you will see what exactly we are talking bout here.
