[solved] Unable to activate the plugin in wordpress

I installed the latest wordpress version on my local server some minutes ago. Installing the maniapress plugin also seems to work, but when I try to activate the plugin, I get the error that the header of the plugin is not valid.
Did I miss something or is it a bug?

Ok I think I know what is the problem. The ManiaPress.zip is unpacked into:

Code: Select all

 ./wp-content/plugin/maniapress/wp-content/...
Also the theme files are stored there which is obviously wrong. :)
If I copy the files to the right position I finally get the ManiaPress Event Publisher and the ManiaPress Theme Switcher
shown as a plugin for wordpress.
Activating those two plugins still ends up with an error, but I hope to find the problem soon. ;)

Code: Select all

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress//wp-content/plugins/maniapress-core/libraries/autoload.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\maniapress\maniapress-core\maniapress-core.php on line 20
The problem is the file is there, so php shouldn`t have a problem to include it.

Edit:// Ok I forgot two files to move to the right position now I can activate the plugins :)

Okay, I'll maybe try to make the documentation clearer on where tu put the files then.
