If I do that the results is the list of Plugins in the database.

However if I install a plugin which is not in database, it does install and can 'see' it in the Admin Plugins but it's NOT in the database ... Access rights to database is correct as it can access and read and the user has full access right...

Maybe I should do a new install, but want to keep database with photos....

Okay, I downloaded the Piwigo 12.2.0 version and on my server removed all folders in the home EXCEPT _data, local and upload. Then I copied the clean Piwigo and it works, even the Extended Template menu is there ... very strange (for me). I did have to install the plugins again (you can 'see' them in other but you cannot delete them, only after installing), as they still give error as they are in database but not in folder.

I think that there is something wrong with the plugin installation and activation processes in the newest Piwigo.

I agree, as I first tried to install a new plugin, folder is there but not in database :-(

But if all is working fine, than no problems. So what is preventing this and/or causing this behaviour?
I suspect some clean-up not done ....

Well, I did to a upgrade from 11.5.0 to 12.2.0 on a Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS server ...

I do see that I use MySQL 8 and you MySQL 5.7 but that should be no problem.

An update:

No update, no joy.
My host provider says that they do not plan any changes to their servers in a foreseeable future. So I am stuck with Piwigo 2.10.2 for now.
