I am a newbie using TortoiseSVN and I have created a basic plugin in the WordPress directory but I want to just update the description page (readme file) but couldn't do so.
The following are my steps:
Make changes to the readme file on my local computer.
Right-click on the readme file and select 'SVN Commit' (No errors, but this won't update the official plugin page hosted over at WordPress directory).
Right-click on trunk folder then select 'Branch/tag', point to existing tags/1.4 but the error says that the file exists...
May I know which step I have done wrong?
I have viewed the following thread but still couldn't find the solution myself...

I would appreciate any help from someone, thank you!

Two days ago we've received a project to realize for my school. We have to build a website using Wordpress.
As told in the title, I can not manage to install plugins, themes, updates and probably some things more from the admin panel.
When I try to download a theme, for example, I get the following message: "Can not locate themes directory".
However, I've been able to install two themes (actually one theme and its parent one, dont know if it matters) by downloading them as zip, and unzip in the wp-content/themes folder.
I've also added some lines to my wp-config.php file:
define('FTP_BASE', '/wordpress');
define('FTP_CONTENT_DIR', '/wordpress/content');
define('FTP_PLUGIN_DIR', '/wordpress/wp-content/plugins');
define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname(__FILE__).'/wordpress/wp-content');
define('WP_PLUGIN_DIR', dirname(__FILE__). '/wordpress/wp-content/plugins');
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', '127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-content');
define('WP_PLUGIN_URL', '127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-content/plugins');
I am using Ubuntu with apache2, mysql and PHP7.2
Any suggestion is welcome.
check your site origin at file manager and left click to make sure that your site has permission to create/upload/etc activities
I'm trying to install a woocommerce plugin on my wordpress website(locally) it is giving such error 'update failed' as you can see in picture,
how to fix this?
Go to wp-content/upgrade directory and change folder permission to 777 (chmod) or in windows make sure that the read only box is uncheck.
That only means you allow that directory to read write and execute without any restrictions.
You can also solve this error by increasing the execution time.
Just go to your Xampp Control Panel, Stop Apache server, click on config (Apache), then select PHP(php.ini) option, Press Ctrl+F type "execution" and hit enter, then just increase the size of execution time from 30 to 300, save the file and then start Apache again.
It Works for Me!
see sometimes there is compatibility problem of site effects. If you can not fix, you can install another similar plugin
or
install a plugin that stop the updates of plugins ot theme according to what you want, to stop only the update of this specific plugin, like
https://wordpress.org/plugins/block-specific-plugin-updates/
after when you fixed or come new version you restart the update procedure
An alternative that works for the installation of plugin is to upload the plugin via cPanel's File Manager or the FTP client (e.g FileZilla).
Download the WooCommerce Plugin from https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/. This will download a zipped file which can be uploaded onto the server.
After download, navigate your way to the wp-content/plugins folder on the cPanel. Upload the downloaded file, and extract the file to folder.
NOTE: remember to remove the version number from the name of the plugin after downloading e.g change woocommerce.4.0.1.zip to woocommerce.zip
It sounds like the files might have been corrupted during the update.
You’d need to access your site FILES, so that you can delete the WooCommerce plugin folder.
Locate the plugins folder, and remove the woocommerce folder from there. Once deleted, you should be able to go back to your site’s Dashboard and install the plugin again.
If you install any plugins/themes, this could be the reason for continuously fails. Add the below line of code in wp-config.php
define('FS_METHOD','direct');
Download .zip From wordpress org/plugins/woocommerce/
Folks!
I am having problem uploading "ShopKeeper" theme on WordPress which is running on my own computer. I am a newbie and learning WordPress but whenever I upload theme it says (the error in the image)
enter image description here
I am using Xampp
I cannot comment yet, so this will be as an answer.
From what I see, it looks like you are trying to unpack the wrong zip file.
Please open the Archive you downloaded, you should then see a folder named Theme Files, or something similar, and you will find inside a .zip file.
Try to install the archive located here, and it should work.
Also, if it's not working yet, it might be due to permissions, which I don't believe. You should check your error logs. You will find them under the folder Applications of Xampp.
I downloaded a theme called MyWriter. In my WP panel it says I should update it, when I click update I get this error:
Update Failed: The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature
It uploaded correctly and works fine as well. But I thought before I start customising it properly, I should update it. Does anyone know how I can get past this?
Thanks,
Can you download the theme package and unzip it manually? The most likely cause of the error is that the zip is corrupt or that it was not compressed with zip.
If you can unzip the theme package, you could then upload the latest version via FTP to the folder /wp-content/themes/mywriter (please note the actual folder would be case sensitive so if its myWriter or MyWriter or some other variation be careful to upload it to the right place).
Or you could try rezipping it (using zip) and upload it via WordPress admin.
Incidentally, if you are intending to customise the theme substantially, then you should use a child theme. Otherwise next time the theme is brought up to date by the theme author you could stand to lose all of your customisations. For more information about creating a child theme, the official WordPress guidance can be found here https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and is explained more simply here https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/
Hope this helps.
This is my first attempt at using drupal and I am trying to add a module to my drupal page. I keep on getting this error when i try and install anything...
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
For those that stumble upon this in the future...
#Hardy was right with his first comment:
Check your installation folder rights.. modules are in folder sites/all/modules and that should be writable (at least if you are just testing it locally). To add module you can just download that module as zip from drupal.org and extract it to sites/all/modules then go to "modules" page in drupal admin panel and activate that module.
and
Actually i have always installed modules "by hand" and that has been ok for me. But maby this helps you to get right permissions: drupal.org/node/244924
I ended up just doing what he suggested (doing it manually) and it really was no big deal...
Also, here is the link that he provided: https://drupal.org/node/244924
