2018 LR Plugins seem to be missing something

Um...I got the new 2018 LR Plugins. Unzipped em and moved the .lrplugins to the web galleries where I assume I add them via plugin manager. I get: An error occurred while attempting to load this plugin. Plus the instructions in the downloads say to copy the "2016-HTML-Gallery_template" to a directory... there is no 2016-HTML-Gallery-Template in any of the downloads. Where might I find such a thing?
I'm using the newly released LR CC Classic, if that has any bearing on the plugin manager errors.
Thanks, Mark

That wording is probably just left over from the 2016 Gallery.
The 2018 galleries should be installed just like the CE4 plugins: manually place them in the Lightroom/Web Galleries/ folder

if you still get an error, try opening the TTG-2018-Grid-Gallery.lrwebengine folder (and the other type gallery folders). You may find that there's another folder by the same name inside of it. If so, install that folder

Hi Rod, Yes I saw the folder within the folder and have the correct folder in the Lightroom/Web Galleries/ folder along with all the other .lrplugins, many of them from TTG versions dating back to 1200BC, I think. Error persists.
Thanks Mark

Addendum: have re-DL'd the 3 plugins, re-unzipped, and copied the .lrplugins folder to the /lightroom/web galleries directory. Lightroom CC Classic won't install these plugins, same error as original message.

Addendum 2: FTR I get the exact same error on my Windows Laptop when I try to add the plugins in Lightroom. The laptop is also on Lightroom CC Classic.

I just simply copied the .lrwebengine folders to the Lightroom\Web Galleries\ folder and reopened Lightroom. The gallery plug-ins were then available and ready to use.
I've never used the LR Plug-in Manager to install them.

Hmmm, although all three .lrwebengine folders are there LR doesn't see them automatically. You still on LR pre-CC classic?

Wait a minute... lrwebengine vs lrplugin. I've been laboring under an illusion. Give me a bit while I go back at this. While I try to keep my head up at all times it sometimes gets locked in the wrong position, in other words, I think I've been looking in the wrong direction.

Well that was so obvious it's embarrassing. An LRWEBENGINE is not the same thing as an LRPLUGIN. Backlight has spoiled me and I've gotten so used to not using the web module in LR that I just figured everything in the known universe was Backlight based. So I will graciously accept the "DUH!! Award" this week. Nothing more to see here folks, move along.
Thanks Rod
