Plug-In Installation Fails Every time

  • For two different sites I run, I am having Plug-In issues. On one, we have a form builder which was upgraded. So I am trying to upload the plug in and I get this error message every time:

    The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

    On the other site, no plug-ins install correctly. Every single one fails. Any help provided would be much appreciated, thanks!

  • The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

    This is a server setting that needs to be changed. It’s likely that this is set to a very low value, but you should contact your webhost to help out with this. (It’s possible to set this value in wp-config.php as well but a server setting could/would override it as well anyway.)

    On the other site, where no plugins install correctly — what error message(s) do you get?

    thanks so much, I will try and fix that one.

    The other error message occurs whenever I try to install a plug in to the site. This is the message I get.

    Could not create directory. /home/content/29/9685529/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

    Plugin install failed.

    Doesn’t matter what the plug in is, its always the same error

    this error come when you don’t have permission for this usually it need 755 permission

    I am sure after this it will start working

    @jrfreelancer, the permissions in your directory:
    /wp-content/plugins
    have been set restrictively, so the new directory cannot be created.
    You can fix this several ways:
    – access your website files using FTP
    – access your website files from your web hosting login
    – Install a security plugin such as “All in one WordPress security”, it has an option that checks and sets permissions.
