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 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.
I need help installing WordPress on my new Amazon EC2 instance.
I created it and I have SSH and SFTP working through FileZilla (using PuTTY because I'm on Windows 10). I also have my Google domain name pointing to the IPv4 address as well.
How do I install WordPress on my site now? I don't want to install it initially when setting up the instance through the AWS marketplace with bitnami or whatever.
Please follow these steps to install the WordPress in AWS:
Log in to AWS using SSH.
Go to Root Folder (/var/www/html/).
Check whether wp cli is installed or not. If not, please install. The installation guide is here.
Create a folder in the name of the project.
Get into the folder (cd folder name).
Use command wp core download (it will install the latest version).
Use command wp core config --dbname=<dbname> --dbuser=<dbuser> --dbpass=<dbpassword> --dbhost=localhost (it will create wp-config.php file)
Use command wp db create (create database in named as previous command)
Use command wp core install --url=http://<yoursiteurl> --title=<Project Name>--admin_user=<adminuser> --admin_password=<adminpassword> --admin_email="<youremailid>"
It will install WordPress in AWS. We followed the same with successful installation many times. Please find the automated script at GitHub (https://github.com/trisghosh/wordpress-automated-script). Please use the automated one after you complete at least one manual installation.
I'm trying to manage my remote shared hosting WordPress installation via WP-CLI installed on my local Windows machine. So far I have managed to install WP-CLI (The "WP" command is available to run).
But when I try and connect to a remote URL with "wp --http", I get the following messsage:
RESTful WP-CLI needs to be installed. Try 'wp package install wp-cli/restful'
So I run the suggested command and I get:
Composer directory for packages couldn't be created.
I hadn't installed via composer. Instead, I manually instaled PHP and then downloaded the "wp-cli.phar" file. So I tried to install composer on Windows, but couldn't make head or tail of what downloads where. I "think" I managed to install wp-cli, but couldn't see where it had installed the files...and it just didn't work out.
Do you guys know of a more straightforward way to do this?
Concerning the error: Composer directory for packages couldn't be created.
If you did not set the environment variable WP_CLI_PACKAGES_DIR the default is ~/.wp-cli/packages/ which works for Linux but not for Windows.
I set this variable and the command 'wp package install wp-cli/restful' now successfully creates the directory for packages and the composer.json file but still doesn't install wp-cli/restful.
So I used composer directly and it successfully installs wp-cli/restful.
If I use the parameter --http=me.local.com (which matches example in the documentation) I get the error "Couldn't auto-discover WP REST API endpoint from me.local.com.' However, if I change this to --http=me.local.com/wp-json it works. The actual command I used is:
wp --http=me.local.com/wp-json rest post list
Today I am starting a new project and I am stuck on wordpress plugins installation
Downloading install package from
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/types.1.8.11.zip…
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.
Plugin install failed.`
I ve tried different plugins and all of them produce this error! any ideas?
you can use class-tgm-plugin-activation to install your plugin automatically at your theme
visit and download, https://github.com/TGMPA/TGM-Plugin-Activation
include at your functions
I managed to sucessfully install and activate it, right now. I used wp-cli, but that should not make much difference. I can recommend it though, as it is more verbose, which helps tracking down errors
What is the result of
ls -l .../path/to/wordpress/wp-content/plugins
Assuming you are on Linux/Unix. Do the other plugins have different permissions/users?
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.
