Trying to add block downloaded from marketplace -- Not showing up
Permalink
So I have downloaded the Simple PHP Block from the marketplace and then followed the following steps:
1. Extracted the folder contents on my desktop
2. Used an FTP Client to upload the folder and its contents into
3. Went to the Block Types page from the dashboard. Expecting to see it as needed to be installed.
Well I didn't see it as needing to be installed or available for use. I also tried the Simple Image Gallery Block but that also did not work.
What am I doing wrong?

Okay so I followed the steps you gave me and then went back into Dashboard->Block Types and I am still seeing this message: "No custom block types are awaiting installation." and it still doesn't show up.
I also tried moving it to root/packages but still nothing.
You need to go to the dashboard page for installing addons, not block types.
Having said that, you should be able to use the marketplace installer. On your concrete5.org projects page, click to your project and your available licences will be listed in a select at the bottom of the project. Assign the licence and it will now show up on the site's dashboard install page.
