Error -1 on plugins

    When trying to update or install new plugin this error shows up

    “Update failed: -1”, “-1”, “Installation Failed: -1”

    Only way for me to add new plugin is if I download it unzip and add it to the page Files.
    This has started becoming way too annoying and since I cannot even update existing plugins it is a bit worrisome.

    Any Ideas on how to resolve this issue would be much appreciated

    This issue has been present for over a month.

    Issue is resolved now here is the TS. Some steps might not be needed but here is the full TS (messed with it for a long time and don’t remember exactly what I was doing so I might have missed something important)

    Note: If Stuck on maintenance find the “.maintenance” file (enable view hidden files) and delete it, in my case was stuck on maintenance for hours.

    1. Back Up Website.
    2. I removed some files from the webpage. Old and leftover files from plugins that are no longer installed, that I judged to not be needed.
    3. Deleted some files that were as if a troll had put them on path:
      home -> public_html -> wp-content -> plugins
      Check and made sure all files align with an active plugin.
    4. Test Each plugin by disabling it and the tried with all of them.
    5. Removed theme and re added it.

    If any1 else has same issue I hope this helps because I couldn’t find anything similar and had to troubleshoot alone.
