I have installed the pluginlibrary plugin and Google SEO plugin.

Successfully installed and activated .

But I am not seeing any changes in url and all. I have tried it from ACP by activating each of them.
The install txt for this plugin says that the files must be uploaded.  But where should they be uploaded to? 

This is a good example of a help file written by someone who knows how to do the job in the first place.

Hi Jim.
Upload the plugin files into the "/inc/plugins/" directory.
And upload the language files into "inc/languages/" directory.

This is covered in the docs. There's a lot to read so you may have missed it.

@ expmrb

Depending on the type of server you're using, you'll need to check that your .htaccess rules, or equivalent are enabled.

Have fun.

The install.txt for the latest version (1.8.4) says:

The documentation for this plugin can be found in:
 
   inc/plugins/google_seo.html
   Please read this documentation very carefully.
   Thank you.

That html file is quite comprehensive as plugin help goes.  Also says in part:

then upload the plugin's files (usually the entire inc/ folder).  Might be nice if it said  something like /inc in your MyBB installation folder - but unless instructed otherwise -  you should assume that anyway.  I think most would - if you've read MyBB's  generic documentation for installing plugins - link.  In fact, saying much more might be counter productive, because MyBB installations can vary relative to the web server document root.  But the path relative to the MyBB root remains constant.

cheers...
