“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

Hey @loyukfai ,

Thank you for reaching out and I’m sorry to hear that you’re encountering issues with activating the plugin!

Usually in the WordPress root directory (usually public_html) you have a error_log file. Since you are doing this from the WordPress admin dashboard, it could also be in the wp-admin folder.

In any of the two folders the error_log file should provide details about the fatal error. If there is no such file you can try enabling WP_DEBUG. This is done from the wp-config.php file, locate this line of code:

define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false );

and change it to:

define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );

Then the error would be either displayed to you or logged in one of the two files.

Feel free to provide me with the error, I would be more than happy to help in the troubleshooting process!

It seems it’s due to the plugin unable to edit .htaccess

[2025-03-04 15:28:12] Activating plugin
[2025-03-04 15:28:12] Total cache cleared
[2025-03-04 15:28:12] Adjust .htaccess file
[2025-03-04 15:28:12] .htaccess is not writeable

My webhost doesn’t allow this. We edit .htaccess manually.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing the log! Give me some time to review this and do a few tests. Once I have any valuable information, I will share it here.
