Download and unzipped everything (4.2.6 for Wordpress) into the plugins folder.

Everything looks ok in the directory, but when I go to install Civicrm on the plugins page (<sitename>/wp-admin/plugins.php), it's nowhere to be found.


The only thing that didn't go perfectly is a small error I got on the unzip command:

gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I don't think this is related since I had the same problem earlier when I tried manually uploading to the directory via ftp.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Using Dreamhost for both host/control panel.

I had previously installed this locally without any glitches.

That would indeed appear to be the problem--I would ask your host about that.
