I have my live install on one server and a development install on another. I’ve added a plugin to both but it only appears in the plugin list in wp-admin
on one.
For a plugin to appear in wp-admin
does it need to appear in the database at all? Or is it that just by having the plugin file(s) in the plugins
directory that it’ll be detected?
Cheers!
It saves the data in:
The plugin file had Mac line endings so the meta-data comment at the top of the file wasn’t being parsed properly. e.g.
In 99% of cases a plugin isn’t detected when moving because the owner of the directory is different from the current owner, meaning no reading rights.
