Is the plugin actually compatible with widgets? ie: will it actually create a widget automatically. The 'usage' should be pretty clear. 2. Have you 'unwrapped' it enough? I've uploaded a plugin that didn't show up one time, by leaving it in an extra folder. Sometimes when I unzip them my computer creates another folder and sticks it in there. Take away all the extra folders, and upload just the last folder with the pages inside it. Click 'yes' to overwrite the last version of the plugin. 3. Check that the plugin is compatible with the version of WP that you are using. Does that help? Hi Erin,
If a plugin doesn’t show up as a widget or plugin, check a couple things:
1. Is the plugin actually compatible with widgets? ie: will it actually create a widget automatically. The ‘usage’ should be pretty clear.
2. Have you ‘unwrapped’ it enough? I’ve uploaded a plugin that didn’t show up one time, by leaving it in an extra folder. Sometimes when I unzip them my computer creates another folder and sticks it in there. Take away all the extra folders, and upload just the last folder with the pages inside it.

3. Check that the plugin is compatible with the version of WP that you are using.

Does that help?
