Yes that works

Now to get to the bottom of the extensions not showing up you need to post a screenshot of your /ext folder with the contents expanded so we can see what you have in the next level of folders.

No, search “how to take a screenshot on windows” or “how to take a screenshot on mac” or for whatever device you’re using.

Basically a screenshot makes an image of the screen your looking at, that image is what Kev wants to see.

Failing that, what folders are currently in /ext, just type out the names of them.

I just edited your post to show them.

OK so your problem is that ony phpBB official extensions belong in the /ext/phpbb folder

So these
/vse
/dmzx
/chl

all need to be inside /ext not inside /ext/phpbb
You have them all one folder deeper than they need to be.

The setup should be
/ext/<authorname>/<name of the extension>

So, if DMZX was the author of an extension called 'bigicons' it would be /ext/dmzx/bigicons/<lots of files and folders in here>
