Could you try to restart Cura after uninstalling the plugins, then reinstall them and restart Cura again?

I guess by now I've already done this. I've restarted Cura multiple times including PC shutdownd and I've tried disabling, restarting, enabling, restarting, ...

I'm not Shure if I've tried uninstalling the plugin but I'll try.

Hmm, Yes, that helped. After uninstalling all, restarting Cura, reinstalling them and restarting cora once more they finally appeared.

The interesting thing there is that, after installing 5.0.0 I had to uninstall and reinstall all of them, so I'd still consider it a bug, but as one that can be fixed by the user if he knows how.

It seems to be necessary to restart Cura between uninstalling and reinstalling a plugin. If you uninstall, reinstall and then restart Cura, Cura can get in a state where it thinks a plugin is installed (as shown in the Marketplace), but the files are not actually in the right place in the configuration folder.

I consider it a bug too. I just had not gotten around to investigate if this also happens with other plugins than my own.

It does. I also installed Calubration Shapes by 5axes and had the same problem there.

Oh and btw, thanks for all those plugins! They really help!

what i am having an issue with is the plugins that have been updated like 5axes auto orientation and a few others cannot be found via the marketplace, i also cannot locate the Cura\contents\plugins directory to manually add a plugin from its repository

Some plugins simply have not yet been updated and/or approved for the Marketplace. The auto orientation plugin (by @nallath) is one of them.

i also cannot locate the Cura\contents\plugins directory to manually add a plugin

That has always been the wrong directory. If you want to install a plugin manually, go to the plugins folder inside the configuration folder; see Help -> Show configuration folder.

Thanks!! thats exactly what i was looking for, looks like the AutoOrientation was updated recently, i was able to copy it to the location and it is now working .
