As you can probably tell by the title, I am having trouble with updating a plugin via my WordPress CMS dashboard. Here's there error code:
An error occurred while updating MotoPress Content Editor: Update package not available.
It told me this, so I proceeded to delete the plugin via FTP and reinstall. It reinstalled the old version for some reason. How can I get the latest?
Most likely license key is not activated for your plugin. You can get you license key and control website activation at your personal account https://www.getmotopress.com/my-account/
Also you can download latest version of plugin at your account and install it via Dashboard>Plugins>Add New>Upload (do not forget to remove currently installed plugin before installing latest version)

I am running Wordpress on a local development server to test plugins from 'dubious' sources. I believe I've been hacked after installing an unofficial copy of a plugin. Now I'm looking for help to assess how serious this may be and how to proceed.
Here's what exactly went down:
Installed MAMP (4.2) on my Mac (10.14.6), with htdocs in it's default location (in the MAMP application folder)
Installed multiple Wordpress sites to develop for clients over several months
Used one of these existing, old, dev sites to test plugins before purchase
I began to install a plugin .zip file, however after I clicked "activate" I was asked by macos whether to allow MAMP access to photos, and then to calendar, both of which I denied. The activation failed due to a "Fatal Error".
I ditched this plugin and moved onto the next. The next one also failed due to fatal error, this time with the error message: "Fatal error: Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement or after any declare call in the script in"
Googled this message revealing it's common when hacked.
So, does the hacker have any access to this website? To the entire local server? To my entire computer where MAMP is installed?
Am I in the clear just deleting the plugin? Clean install MAMP?
Thanks.
Wordpress hacks tend to be more about collecting information from WordPress.
Anytime you get a warning like that, it should tell you where the issue is.
However, I would install Wordfence on your local sites and have it run a scan. It will compare core files etc to what is on the repo and tell you. It will get about 99% of it unless it is a Zero day.
First, I am a newbie in drupal, and I still haven't managed this framework.
I am running Drupal 8 in localhost, and I can edit my pages. But, constantly I need to restart Drupal because if suddenly hangs. I tried to look at the logs, but I can't find any information about this behavior. It seems that the server has stopped responding. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
Also, I am trying to install the plugin ds-8.x-3.5.tar.gz in Drupal, and I get this error.
I know this is not a useful debug information, but this is what I have. I can't understand why this plugin is not installed. Any suggestion?
Looks like you have some dependency issues.
As you state in your question that you would like to install ds-8.x-3.5.tar.gz I deduce that you are the dependencies manager. Since it looks like you're trying to install the module manually. You can install the module and manage the dependencies manually but it can be a pain.
Better to leave that to a piece of software designed to manage all the complex dependencies Drupal has and use composer as a dependency manager.
To install composer follow this link: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
If you can, start a new Drupal install and read the docs about installing Drupal with composer: https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/using-composer/using-composer-to-install-drupal-and-manage-dependencies
follow the section under heading: Using drupal/recommended-project
That is much easier than converting your existing install to composer.
But if you need to convert your existing install follow the section under heading: Managing existing sites using Composer
Once you have composer running and have installed Drupal with it. You can simply run: composer require drupal/ds and your module is installed with all the needed dependencies .
I'm trying to install a modified version of the Rules HTTP Client module. But the problem is that I cannot install this because when I try to it tells me that "Rules HTTP Client" already installed.
So I tried to disable and uninstall the module first. I disabled it but then it is not listed in the uninstall tab.
I do not have access to the server on which the Drupal site is hosted so everything I do has to be through the admin dashboard on the site.
Previously I could just install a module and it would override the already installed module. Is there a way to uninstall this Rules HTTP Client module? And does anyone know why when disabled it does not show in the uninstall tab?
If the non-modified version doesn't appear in the uninstall tab, that's because it is already uninstalled or marked as uninstalled in database (you can check the schema_version in the system table, set to -1 means uninstalled).
However, the previous sources are probably still there and the former .info file in this case need to be removed or at least commented out depending on how you can access the server.
i have installed drupal 7.39 for my website but it had some issues. I have included the error message here. Anyone please help me out
There is a security update available for your version of Drupal. To ensure the security of your server, you should update immediately! See the available updates page for more information and to install your missing updates.
I'm wondering if there is a way to install an unstable version of a published plugin.
Let's say I updated my plugin version 1.0 to 1.1.
Then I put Stable tag: 1.0 in the readme.txt file so that everyone downloads the stable version v1.0.
Now my question is that if I want to test the unstable version on one of the remote servers, isn't it possible to install v1.1 with the built-in plugin installer?
I'm currently doing this way:
deactivate the old version
delete the plugin
upload the unstable version
activate it.
If the updating process could be shorten this way, it would really save my time.
search and find the plugin name to install in the Add New page.
click on the unstable version link.
Thanks for your information.
I'm not sure that this is the answer you are looking for but...
I was running into the same issue and instead what I have chosen to do is actually edit my plug-in on a "test-bed" site. I have a site that I test all of my modifications on before publishing and I access the files directly via FileZilla FTP Client.
This allows me to take the most up to date file from the server, edit it on my machine (using Notepad++) and upload the change to the server for testing. If it breaks the site in some way I can always re-upload the original via FTP and everything is back online.
Hope this helps!
