I am looking for a way to prompt the administrator during the installation of a Wordpress plugin.
I would like the administrator to set parameters that will be used in the next part of the installation.
Do you know how to do that ? Do you have any clue ?
Thank you.
The only way to do a prompt for the installation is to create 2 plugins, one for the installation and configuration of the "framework" of the plugin and the other for the use of the framework.
The "installation" function in wordpress doesn't show you anything, it's launched in back-end.

Considering your problem, i think you were trying to download a plugin from the wordpress plugin interface. More information would be valued but you can try
Check Storage
Uninstall and reinstall
(Quite likely), Check the files/directory permission setting.
I am running wordpress on my local using Web Matrix. I am trying to install "Types - Custom Fields and Custom Post Types Management." plugin. But this is taking forever I am seeing message "Installing Plugin Types - Custom Fields and Custom Post Types Management (1/1)" from last one hour. The problem is I am not even getting error or installation fail notification. Anybody faced this kind of issue? and Is there any other way to install this plugin instead of doing it from UI available?
Hi TolerantCoder,
if you are not able to install plugins from admin than you can download plugins from wordpress plugins Directory than extract zip file and add in you wordpress project plugins directory.
I.e: D:\wamp\www\citicollege\wp-content\plugins\
in plugins directory you can copy paste plugins and activate from admin.
I have a local install of WP running on MAMP.
It is the latest 3.8.
I have installed a theme called Dante which is a pro theme and recommends various plugins (some of which are essential).
One of the plugins in called Revolution slider, and this is giving me grief.
I can install the plugin fine, however when I try and create new slider (from within the plugin) I get a message saying Ajax Error!!! parsererror
I have contacted the plugin supplier who have asked me to check the permissions of the plugin folder - I did (even made them 777) but no joy.
Can anyone help me as to where I should start debugging?
Many thanks
The problem lay with there not being enough memory allocated.
Adding
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '240M');
to wp-config fixed it.
I have used Fantastico and Softaculous in the past to install WordPress, however they are limited in that they require me to step through the wizard manually, and they can't set the default theme or install plugins.
Is it possible to write a script that automates the process? Would this be possible in PHP?
Even if it's not possible with a script, I am at least hoping to find a way to set the default WordPress theme upon installation.
You can switch themes using the switch_theme function. As for automating, of course it's possible. Your script could grab the wordpress code base with curl, includes a wp_config.php file you've already filled out, read the database info from that file in order to create the database and grant permissions as appropriate, and then run the wp_install process itself.
You can create a custom script in Softaculous and have your themes or plugins pre installed.
Here is the guide :
