Can't install google docs embedder

Hi Allyson,

Can you install any plugins at all? The upgrade folder that you’re getting an error for isn’t something GDE creates or references at all. It sounds like a broader WP problem rather than an issue installing this specific plugin.

If you’ve placed the whole “google-document-embedder” folder in wp-content/plugins and it doesn’t show up in the admin panel, that too is a WP level issue beyond where my plugin would reach.

Let me know if I can provide any further help.

Hi Kevin:

Thanks for a swift response. I think this is a WP issue and not your plugin as well. I am now at the end of my rope with this wp install (done by someone else). The blogpage itself is working but I am unable to update or install any plugins.

If you have any suggestions as to where I might find more answers I would appreciate it. All I am trying to do for this blog is create a child theme so I can adjust the css and add a few plugins.

I have been searching the net for a whole day and am no closer to the solution than I was before.Frustrating!

Thanks again, if I ever get this page to accept plugins I will certainly try yours!

It sounds to me (though of course I haven’t looked at the server to say for sure) that the folder permissions are incorrect. This happens mostly on Windows/IIS hosts in my experience. If that happens to apply to you I might be able to recommend other steps, but really this is something the web host normally deals with… Good luck. ??
