    Which plugin are you trying to install? All of our plugins include a detailed install.txt file which tells you exactly where to place the files.

    mu-plugins is for specially designed plugins that are meant to activate automatically for every blog, and not show up in the plugins menu. The plugins folder is for traditional wordpress plugins that you have to activate in the plugins menu for each blog.
