OK, I was right (that I was wrong!).

Stupidly, I was looking in the wrong place and have now updated the ftp a/c to point to the correct place, where it has managed to update a plugin and delete another.

I am so sorry for leading you down a dead end.

The bbPress issue did occur though but since you can’t replicate it, that isn’t very useful to you.

If it helps, I can reinstall it and see if I still have a problem?

Thanks so much for your assistance – if anything, you efforts made me double check things so I am very grateful.

The hosting company has a safe mode where they can do one-click installs and that is why I have the version I do. It has actually been updated and is much newer than it used to be!

Back to the problem, I have a horrible feeling that I am looking in the wrong place and have a dummy installation!

I will reply soon,

Thanks, Steve

I just took another look at my installation and remembered that after posting the problem, but before responses, I deleted the bbPress plugin.

And it was deleted!

So now it doesn’t show up in my list of plugins.

However, I can’t delete anything else!!! So somehow, I can delete that one, which caused the translation errors, but can’t affect the other plugins!!

Update:

When I try to delete other plugins, it comes back and says that is unable to delete so-and-so.

I have just logged into the ftp account and inside the plugins directory, I see:

Note the remaining bbPress files (after the delete op). Plus, you can see what plugins are really there, despite what WordPress is saying. My dashboard reckons I have 20 plugins!

Hope that sheds a bit more light on it.

That’s brilliant (that you are taking a look)!

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,

Thanks for responding.

No, I don’t think I have run out of space. I have an unlimited quote (whatever that means!) but also looking at my control panel (at the hosting site), it says:

Number of Files :
9,667 of 262,144 used
Available files : 252,477

With 12GB used. I ought to have a lot more than that.

The other thing is I deleted a bunch of plugins and they are gone, with the new ones added (at least as far as I can tell based on my perusal of the plugin directory.
