    Have you uploaded them properly? Read the readme.txt files that are supplied with each plugin. Some plugins require you to upload whole folder and some only one file.

    Also, you then need to activate the plugins in the WP admin panel - plugins to see them.

    yea , you probably didnt upload them as you were supposed to !!
    if zip file contains files like :
    plugin***.php

    you have to upload just plugin***.php to plugins folder, do not put it in a seperate folder !!

    Also, check your file permissions to ensure wordpress can read the contents of your plugins directory.

    Hi -

    Did you unzip your plugins before uploading them?
