Body: <p>I recently installed Civi on WordPress 4.8. Upon wanting to manually upload an extension to the extension directory, I saw that the "files" directory is empty.</p>
  
  <p>In the installation guide it said to create a files folder within /plugins/files.</p>
  
  <p>I see the resource URL for extensions is where this should be. I've not seen this happen on other installs of mine, so wondering if others have seen this.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I have downloaded the native extensions and they are working; where are those located?</p>
