  1. My theory based on what you’ve described is that this is a Linux user permissions issue. So the Linux user used by WordPress doesn’t have permissions to make changes.

    If you see the plugin on the file manager of the Cpanel; but you are not able to see it on the wp-admin dashboard. This can probably mean that it is not installed correctly. Try removing the plugin and install it from the plugin search section on your wordpress admin plugin menu.

    Please send me screenshots and try to explain it with more details so I can understand better and be able to help..

  3. Showing the Folder in CPanel doesn’t mean that Plugins are OK. Please check the files which may have issues.

    • Go to your cpanal /public_html/wp_content/
    • Select plugins and rename it to “plugins”
    • Actually after plugins there was extra space. Just remove that extra space.

    You are done. Now you have to reactivate all plugins from your wordpress dashboard.
