I am trying to install the wordpress plugin in my localhost wordpress. I am getting the following error whenever I try to install a new plugin.
Installation failed: Could not create directory.
You can try to delete the folder of the plugin and try to reinstall it again.
Or try this: Wordpress plugin install: Could not create directory
If you don't manage to setup the permission ask the hosting support to do that for you.

Using laracasts I was able to install a new Laravel project by typing in laravel new project-name into the console and it will install a new Laravel install.
I was looking to have the same functionality with WordPress. I found a few tutorials that mentioned that said to install WordPress with composer I would have to put a composer.json file in the folder I want to install WordPress in with
{ "require": {
"johnpbloch/wordpress": "*" } }
I'm trying to figure out a way to set it up so I can just type in wordpress new project-name and composer will create a folder using that name with a blank WordPress install. I'm guessing maybe I would use an alias?
laravel new project-name is probably a shortcut for composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-name. It basically uses laravel/laravel package as a project template and initializes your app using it as a starter. If you want similar functionality for WordPress, you need to find project template for Wordpress. You may try Bedrock as am example, but there are also other starters for WordPress:
composer create-project roots/bedrock project-name
If you really want to use wordpress new syntax, you should probably create custom wordpress command which will call composer create-project internally. But I would not recommend that, it does not give much benefits, just hides what is really happening.
Hi I am using a Ubuntu system. I am using a shell script to download wordpress from wget, update config and run it from nginx server.
Now I want to update this shell script so that when we install a fresh copy of WordPress, I get some plugins pre-installed.
So I installed wp-cli and ran the command
wp plugin install w3-total-cache --activate --allow-root
This command says the plugin has been activated successfully. But when I go to the site URL in the plugins section, it gives the following error
The plugin w3-total-cache/w3-total-cache.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.
This is true for any plugin that I try to install.
When I go to the plugins folder inside wp-content, I can see that plugin files exist. But still I get the error.
How to resolve this. Please help
You should try uploading the plugin by logging in to your wp-adm
Are you using the latest version of wp-cli?
Try: wp cli check-update
I just finished installing Wordpress (through Bitnami) and am running an Apache server with XAMPP. After installation, it tried to load the initial blog page and had the error. I can access localhost, but not the http://localhost/wordpress. No other questions about this topic seem to have this same problem.
Try this:
Create a new folder (site)
From the link below, download and extract the WordPress loader (installer) php script into the new folder:

Run http://localhost/<new_folder>/wordpress_loader.php and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation
I have wordpress site on my server which only uses sftp.
I want to install and upgrade plugins, but it appears that you are required to enter your ftp login to install the plugins. Is there a way to install and upgrade plugins by manually uploading the files instead of having wordpress handle the entire process?
Add
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
to your wp-config.php
And it will be fine
You can install a plugin by simply uploading to the plugins directory and unpacking it. '/wp-content/plugins'. Note that you will still have to enable the plugin normally in Wordpress admin.
