I've got a WordPress installation of a friend which was recently hacked. I fixed many malicious files, but no admin user is allowed to install new plugins or even update installed plugins or the whole WordPress system.
I already tried to us
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
in config file, but it didn't work.
Any ideas what I could try?
Thank you!
If found the solution.
Someone added the following lines into wp-config.php:
define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT',true);
define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS',true);
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true);
Setting those to false solved my problem.

We have a Wordpress multisite 4.2.2 RPM installation on CentOS 6.6 and in the network plugins panel, the add plugin button and the plugins updates are not showing up (100% sure some plugins are not up to date).
The odd thing is when heading to /wp-admin/network/plugin-install.php, it says we haven't sufficient permissions to access the page. Note that we have a superadmin account.
So far, we tried to comment the config line define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true ); and changing all the salt in the config ... no luck.
We tested our server connection to api.wordpress.org:443 and planet.wordpress.org:443 without any problem.
Also note that we have a second WP installation on the same server (not multisite) which is working as intended.
Any clue is welcome, thanks !
We find out it was a problem with the config.
We needed to keep define('AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true); and we commented define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true );.
But DISALLOW_FILE_MODS need to be set as false, not just commented otherwise default value is true i guess.
I was trying to install wordpres on my local computer. However, when I try to upload a theme or install some plugin using the web interface. It always prompts me to enter FTP credentials. I checked online, and it seems that ftp credentials is not necessary for uploading. I set the permissions for all directorieos and files under wp-content to be 777, but the problem is still there. And this Word press is a fresh installation on ubuntu 14.04( running in a VM) and newest wordpress.
Hi I got this issue before some time wordpress ask ftp detail when I was trying to install new plugin and get resolved by adding this code in my wp-config file.
define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct');
Add this code to wp-config.php :
add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "direct";' ));
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0751 );
i am using WordPress 3.6.1 and I have strange problem today. First I have to tell that my current website was copied from old website, both the WP files and database.
So in the current website, I try to install new plugin, but it returns error:
Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/xml-sitemap-xml-sitemapcouk.zip…
Download failed. Could not open handle for fopen() to /home/k5841724/public_html/wp-content/uploads/xml-sitemap-xml-sitemapcouk.tmp
Then all my plugins are dissapered (Akismet, Hello Dolly, etc), and I can't install any plugin. Nothing wrong with my permission, /wp-content, /wp-includes, /wpcontent/uploads all are set to 755. Any idea what is the solution for this issue? Thanks.
addition note:
all my plugins folder (Akismet, etc) still there inside wp-content/plugins folder, but not appear in WP Dashboard.
You should check permissions for folder wp-content/uploads
I think wordpress can't write to this folder. Set for this folder permission 777 and try again.
I have experienced the same error with plugin installation.
In my case it was very informative to change WP_DEBUG to true in my wp-config.php file.
After doing so I have noticed the error message, telling me that open function is disabled due to security reasons.
Try changing your php.ini settings so that disable_functions doesn't contain fopen
I already tried doing the php.ini memory=20MB solution but it did not work. I uploaded it under the wp-admin/ folder.
I'm not really sure what else to try. Help?
The memory bump doesn't go into an .htaccess file in wp-admin. It goes into the .htaccess in web root. Use FTP to find and delete the .htaccess file you put in wp-admin.
Then forget about .htaccess files and try adding the line below near the top of your wp-config.php file, a few lines after the opening <?php
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
Renaming plugin directory temporary solved the problem for me
This problem occurs because your php dont't have any xml or has a deprecated version xml, so if you manually instal or update your xml, the problem will be solve.
If you using Ubuntu, try execute this code in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install php-xml
After this you need to restart apache so it takes effect, for this execute the command:
sudo service apache2 restart
Go to setting -> permalink and then select any common setting after that save it.
Reload the website. Everything will be fine.
Then reset it to previous common setting so that it will not effect for URL.
A 500 error is an Internal Server Error, which sometimes can be a hosting configuration problem, but in WordPress it is often a fatal PHP error.
First, just remove that php.ini file - some web hosts do not allow you to modify the PHP settings, so let's take that out of the mix first.
If it is a server error, temporarily rename your .htaccess file to something else (to take it out of the mix as well). Also, check for an error_log file in your filesystem, or the Error Logs in your hosting control panel.
If that doesn't tell you anything, it is likely a PHP issue. Turn on WordPress Debugging by adding the following code to your wp-config.php file:
// Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
// Disable display of errors and warnings
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
#ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
// Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
Make sure you comment out the line that says:
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
Now, when you refresh the page and get the error, WordPress will write any PHP errors to wp-content/debug.log. Check that log for a fatal PHP error - it will tell you which file is causing the error, often a theme or plugin file.
Once you know the cause, rename that theme or plugin to temporarily remove it from WordPress. That should restore normal functionality.
Another important fix for the internal server error is to try and upload a fresh version of wp-admin and wp-includes to your site.
This step should be a last resort, but if you’ve used the above solutions and still cannot find one that works, it’s worth a try. Backup your site, and download a fresh version of WordPress from the main site.
Extract the files from the ZIP file, and open the extracted folder. Open your site’s root directory in an FTP client, and upload the wp-admin and wp-includes from your fresh version of WordPress to your site’s directory, overwriting the older versions.
Refresh the client, and refresh your site. If the error is gone, it was likely caused by a corrupted core file. If you still see the error, you may have no other option than to contact your host. Check it out for more WordPress internal server error fixes.
I have insatlled wordpress 3.3.1 recently. I have not confirgured wp-config.php file before installation, after installation, i have copied the wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php & edit the details accordingly, but this wp-config file is not reflecting actually.
What may be the reason, how to make this enable so that wp-config file will be included while loading wordpress files,
Moreover from where the db & other settings are loaded in Wordpress.
Thanks !
Make sure that wp-config.php is in the right location (webroot), and that the file has the appropriate permissions. If everything checks out ok, check the apache logs.
Please make sure that you follow the following steps
I can only assume you are on a windows machine, since I've had the same problem, but not in Linux.
