Impossible to install?

Same here.

I was running the plugin for a while. I wanted to do the update today, which didn’t go as planned.

The updating process started hanging. I removed all files through FTP and uploaded it again through FTP, since installing within WP didn’t work.

After uploading all files the plugin doesn’t show in the plugins list. When I search for the plugin through “Plugins->Add New” it says “Installed”.

I’m stuck with this. Got a bunch of work lined up because of this now. All recipes need manual review.

Same issue here. Would love to hear a solution. I’m new to this…how do you remove files from FTP? And what is FTP?

I’ve tried installing the zip file even though the Plugins page says it’s installed. However, when I try to look for it in my Plugins, it’s not there. Would love to hear a response to this.

I’m having the same trouble…Everything was fine this morning, when I did a post. Then I did the update, a few hours later went to work on something else, and now my plugin’s missing. I’ve since deleted the plugin files, and am trying to reinstall it. And it doesn’t seem to be going well.

Same problem here – installing directly from WordPress results in this error:

Installing Plugin: Easy Recipe 3.2.1211
Downloading install package from https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/easyrecipe.3.2.1211.zip…

Unpacking the package…

Installing the plugin…

The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.

Plugin install failed.

I’m having the same issues. I even ran wget to the zip file and installed manually at the command line, but the plugin isn’t showing up at all in my plugins list. Further, when I try to install it from WP itself, it just times out trying to download.

It looks like today’s update broke a lot of stuff – one site’s unupdated plugin wouldn’t even show up in her plugins list anymore.

This is a serious issue for many of my customers.

Thanks for any help!

This issue should be fixed with the latest build (1213)

When searching for Easy Recipe from the Add New page, it finds the plugin, but there is no install link.

Belay my last – it’s showing up now, thank you.

I’m still not seeing the Install link. Easy Recipe is also not showing up on my installed Plugins. When I try to download the latest build 3.2.1215, it gives me an error. Where can I find the 1213 build to install that?

oprisra – have you removed the old files? you may have to do it via FTP or from the command line, if you have access to it. it will be in your wp-content/plugins directory, in a directory itself called easyrecipe.

If you’re having problems updating, use ftp or your server control panel and delete the “/wp-content/plugins/easyrecipe” directory. You won’t lose any data.

The latest version is now 3.2.1215

This does beg the question, though, of whether the plugin update 3.2.1212 was “tested in production.”

The plugin is fine – we run every release through an automated test suite that checks that we haven’t broken previous fixes and also checks compatibility with over 40 themes.

The install problem wasn’t with the plugin itself – it was that some idiot (me!) copied the wrong directory to the WordPress repository.

Hey, thanks for the honesty! I know things like that happen (er, not that I’ve ever had anything similar… heavens no!)

Much appreciated. ??

It’s been That Kind of Week, for sure.

Thanks for the quick fix!
