Weird: All plugins went missing via dashboard after adding a folder via FTP
I followed this instruction:
===================================
EXTENSION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
In order for Vanilla to recognize an extension, it must be contained within it's
own directory within the extensions directory. So, once you have downloaded and
unzipped the extension files, you can then place the folder containing the
default.php file into your installation of Vanilla. The path to your extension's
default.php file should look like this:
/path/to/vanilla/extensions/MarkAllRead/default.php
Once this is complete, you can enable the extension through the "Manage
Extensions" form on the settings tab in Vanilla.
Created the folder in my /plugins/ folder, voila! all my plugins can't be seen in my dashboard
Any help will really be appreciate

i think someone should delete that plugin. it completely wiped out my plugins folder.
Are you sure this a Vanilla 2 plugin and not a Vanilla 1 extension? They aren't compatible with each other.
If you want to "mark all read" that's the "All Viewed" plugin that comes bundled with Vanilla 2.
i' really don't know... i tried uploading again all my plugins via FTP, I can't still see them via dashboard.
Have you tried deleting the MarkAllRead folder altogether?

yha i tried that, it went missing right after. upon checking the cpanel/file manager the entire /plugings folder was wiped out.
hmmm.. lesson learned.. not try add apps not compatible with the framework
I don't know the plugin you tried to upload, but I'm not aware of any of them "wiping" folders. I also don't think that the framework itself would ever do something like that, as it would be absolutely crazy (and give @Lincoln, @Todd and many other people a terrible gastritis and endless nightmares).

i suspect it was that old plugin i.e. markallread.
the whole process went this way:
i tried replicating the error
@travelguide
I think that would be considered "a bad trip". Perhaps the travelguide got lost
.
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
he was a clueless traveler i guess
hey! merry x-mas in advance
same thing happened to just now after enabling the user fields plug
my plugins folder is completely missing
First of all enabling a plugin doesn't delete the content of the plugin folder that is simply not what it is for, and even if it did you have have set you file permission completely wrong to allow that to happen. Enabling a plugin, sets a configuration, that is in a totally different folder, plugins are simply read or not.
For whatever reason it is getting overwritten or wiped, you should not allow it.
File permissions should never be set that high, bar small number of exceptions.
Unfortunately the era of cheap host have led people to be blasé about file permissions. First of all people assume the 0777 is some kind of default. In reality server admins rarely set permissions that high. Secondly files not only have permissions they have owners an groups, one reason why people with cheap host don't know that, is they have no way of controlling that and don't really understand what it is for, which is why they set the permissions so high.
grep is your friend.
