I deleted 9 .ini check filezilla then 4 more appeared "local_map.ini, c_library_map.ini, a_dashboard_controller_map.ini and a_dashobard_library_map.ini" I changed cache folder from 705 to 777 but when I check it again it shows as 705.

Ok it has to be something I am doing wrong. I downloaded postcount-plugin and uploaded it to forums > plugins without using FileZilla ie just uploaded directly into FTP File Manager inside GoDaddy.
The plugin showed up as postcount_plugin-1-0-2.zip. So I then clicked unarchive where I was given the choice of destination where I selected /forums/plugins/postcount I left the box ticked that said "Overright existing file" selected ok and then postcount file appeared as a directory file type. I then went back to the dashboard and still nothing. I mean could it have anything to do with the fact I'm using Wordpress?
Ah I knew I was doing something wrong. Ok so when I download then open the whosOnline plugin I see 4 items. "class.whosonlinemodule.php, defualt.php, whosonline.js and a folder called views"
So do I simply upload each of those one by one to the plugins folder or just the contents of the views folder?
OMG OMG!!! I finally got it! I simply uploaded each of those files after unzipping them and boom! Its finally working! So happy to finally get this all working I can't tell you!
Thank you so much 422 for helping me. I know dealing with newbies like myself with limited knowledge of FTP and code must be frustrating at times. So I do appreciate you not only take your time to help but being as patient and helpful are are. Really cannot thank you enough!

Yep. That is the way my forums folder looks like. So does that mean I should go ahead and delete those file inside the cache with .ini?
yes ( only the .ini files though )
cache folder should be chmodded to 777

in that same folder can you open htaccess file ( be careful not to change anything )
Do you see a line like this:
If you do thats cool, just being nosey .. if you dont... we can move on

yep looks fine.
Ok are you on shared host ? Because if you havent the "remote" permissions to change folder permissions , this could be the issue.
If you log out of ftp and back in, and view properties of cache folder it should be 777
If it isnt, put a support ticket in with GoBaddy

Hehe GoBaddy.
Fortunately I don't need to contact them (well yet anyway).
I logged out of the FileZilla and back in went to forums > cache right clicked and it is now showing as 777.
Cool.
Download a plugin from here something you dont have, Unzip.. And upload to your plugins folder.
Then go into dashboard and see if its there

You must UNZIP file .
Open the folder..
Upload contents ie... in the zip folder, there is a main folder called eg. dave
you upload that NOT the zip !

No.
When you download a plugin called dave.zip and you unzip
You have a folder called dave
Upload that folder INTACT
