    What did you drag?

    Did you unzip them first?

    Which plugins have you tried?

  • Options

    teamspeak-server-plugin and online now they both were unzipped.

    So they don't appear in the Dashboard?

    What about under the disabled tab?

    under all, and disabled they are not listed

    I guess it has something to do with Vanillas Plugin Cache and a caching misconfiguration. I was to lazy to solve the problem, but I have made a plugin which helps me in such cases:

    <?php defined('APPLICATION') or die();
    
    $PluginInfo['ClearPluginCache'] = array(
        'Name' => 'Clear Plugin Cache',
        'Description' => 'Clears plugin and config cache on every enable/disable of this plugin.',
        'Version' => '0.1',
        'Author' => 'Robin Jurinka',
        'License' => 'MIT'
    );
    
    class ClearPluginCachePlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {
        public function setup() {
            Gdn::PluginManager()->ClearPluginCache();
            Gdn_Configuration::ClearCache();
        }
        public function OnDisable() {
            Gdn::PluginManager()->ClearPluginCache();
            Gdn_Configuration::ClearCache();
        }
    }
    

    Enabling or disabling clears Vanilla plugin cache which will show you all plugins with correct information.

    Your problem now is that you wouldn't be able to enable it! =)

    So add

        public function base_render_before() {
            Gdn::PluginManager()->ClearPluginCache();
            Gdn_Configuration::ClearCache();
        }
    

    to any of your currently enabled plugins and delete it right after you've reloaded any of your forums pages.

    If that doesn't help, I'd assume your problem has something to do with file access rights...

    R_J How do I enable the plugin in the first place if no plugins show?

    I wonder if the directory truly reflects what is running on the server.

    Did you install Vanilla through a script? Not a fan, you are better of installing it following the installation instructions from the horse's mouth.
