#10000: unable to see (or activate) plugins copied manually into wp-
content/plugins/
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: helened | Owner:
Type: defect (bug) | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Unassigned
Component: General | Version: 2.6
Severity: normal | Keywords: plugin
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Unable to see (or activate) any plugin that is manually copied into "wp-
content/plugins/" directory...unless another plugin is installed
afterwards using the "Add New" selection or after 2 hours has passed (cron
takes that long to reread "wp-content/plugins/ and update "wp_options"
apparently).
To reproduce bug: 1) download a new plugin that contains multiple files
onto your PC, 2) unzip new plugin, 3) "FTP" new plugin folder to your web
server and put it in "/www-root-folder/my-wordpress-path/wp-
content/plugins/", 4) in browser, load www.my-site.com/my-wordpress-path
/wp-admin/plugins.php, 5) new plugin is NOT listed.
To fix (IMHO): 1) have "plugins.php" reread "wp-content/plugins/"
directory every time it is loaded, or 2) add a button "[refresh/reread
plugins list]" that rereads the contents of "wp-content/plugins" and
updates "wp-options" whenever it is clicked.
FYI. This might be the same bug reported in ticket#9649.
