this is file uploader, right? did you make sure the directory created under wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins was called plupload and not some name with a numeric number on the end like plupload-1?? its a wp issue when using the uploader that can crop up given certain server permissions...

I don't think there was anything on the end of the file name, not 100% sure.  I deleted it under media.

no... not the upload but the extracted directory and files... look under wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins

if you actually installed a plugin for sp, it will be there... again, not the uploaded zip archive...

what do you mean never got that far??  Uploading a zip archive will not affect the admin or anything else.  And what do  you mean when you deleted it under media?  via ftp?  or using the wp media library manager?

still, any more info you can provide on what else might have occurred because as I said, simply uploading a file wont affect anything...

have you checked your server error logs?

Hi,

What happened in my case was that Firefox automatically adds a number to the file when you download it for the second time. Which I did. So now the zip file was called 'plugin(1).zip'. Which caused the trouble. When I went to CPanel and the sp-resources directory and I removed the 1, it worked okay. Everything was back to normal and the plug in works too.

And that is the root of the issue. WordPress is supposed to remove the zip after the plugin has been unzipped and moved to its correct location but fails to do so meaning a secondary download of the same plugin results as you describe.
