I am currently on ES 1.x and I have manually copied the (\_site) directory to my plugins directory on my nodes (my directory structure has "./plugins/migration/\_site") and did a rolling restart. From what I read, it should automatically detect the plugin and in my case it's not able to. When I list the plugins it doesn't show. Did I miss anything?
