That could mean it had an error during startup, or a conflicting plugin. Check you server log and see if you can find it.

sorry i meant the permissions.yml folder

its in red

If you type /plugins is PEX showing or in red?

in my permissionsex config is says:

permissions:
backend: file
backends:
file:
file: permissions.yml

can you c/p what it says in your config file onto the post plz

I have done both

Have you added permissions.* to your account? Or are you using console?

No,
For example if i type /pex user .. group set ...
it just ignores the command

can u tell me more detail about what you have done

As in nothing happening, are there no prefixes showing up?

I have no idea what the problem is, I use groupmanager. Maybe you're just configuring it wrong.

After i got permissionsex and made the permission file
everytime i try to pex a user NOTHING happens
