Two different plugins not showing in the CP after code was pushed to staging server.

My questions:

1) Why wouldn't the plugins show in CP if plugins are present in the craft_plugins table?

2) How to troubleshoot this issue? I'm not seeing any plugin errors in php-error.log or craft.log.

What I know:

-- Two plugins are NOT showing:

  • truncHTML ( my own custom twigFilter )
  • the "Import" plugin ( boboldehampsink v 0.7.1- latest)
  • Other plugins load fine.

-- Both "missing" plugins are present in the craft_plugins table.

-- Site seems to work file except for missing plugins, and related missing twig filter template error:

The filter "truncHTML" does not exist 

-- My Development environment is php 5.4.24.
-- Staging is PHP 5.3.3 (where Plugins not loading)

  • I confirmed that all Craft required PHP extensions are loading on the staging server

-- Craft dev mode enabled.

-- a similar truncate twig filter plugin loads fine.

-- I can include a stack trace detailing the twig "missing filter" error resulting from missing twig filter plugin, but I don't think this helps explain the missing plugin.

Any Ideas? Thanks!!

Check if the plugin folders in craft/plugins are named correctly. Most local environments aren't case-sensitive, but most servers are.

Valid:

craft/plugins/trunchtml/
craft/plugins/import/

Invalid:

craft/plugins/truncHTML/
craft/plugins/Import/

    Simply changing the plugin foldernames to lowercase totally solved the issue. Thank you!
