If you look at that path you will now see that the folder name is given as ‘pluploa’ instead of ‘plupload’. It is missing the final ‘d’. Just edit the folder name and all should be well.

The problem with the number on the end is actually more of a WP issue. When it downloads something like a plugin to install – it downloads it initially to the ‘uploads’ folder and then copies it to the right location and then deletes the original.

Sometimes it fails to delete the original in ‘uploads’. Then, if it is downloaded again it finds there is already a copy of that name in the folder so it creates a new one with the -1 on the end. Until it is removed this will continue to happen. We are unsure why WP sometimes fails to remove the uploaded item. So – wp-content/uploads – remove from there if you can to avoid the issue again.

Thank you for your prompt answer. The site is running again and even the plugin seems to be active. For some reason the repair advice is to remove “d1”, not “1”.

sorry, where did you see it documented to remove the ‘d’?  If we have that somewhere, it should be corrected…

The advice to remove d1 from the end of the plugins folder “plupload1” appeared after I first used WP’s native plugin installation and thus created an error situation.

Glad you got it sorted, and thanks for the ‘d1’ info. Has been noted..

you mean after you installed, sp came back with a message about could not activate the plugin?  and suggest taking off d1?

odd, no other reports…  will have to check and see if the special error condition code was expecting -x where x was a number…  that is expecting a dash before the number…  only thing that comes to mind right now…

but thanks, will check into…

 Here you have.

interesting… well as I said, investigation continues… ticket is open… thanks…

Hi Mr. Papa,

I am having fatal errors too. Can you please see my 3 images and advise on what steps I should take.

Mr.Papa,

I deleted some original images to the post above and it looks like they were deleted. I only want the image blocking my feed key to show in the screen shots.

Not really following this. I understand the middle image where it looks like yor are trying to install a Simple-Press plugin into the WordPress plugins location where it does not belong. See https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/plugins/plugin-basics/using-plugins/ for more information.

Not sure what you are asking about the other two images and not sure where the ‘fatal error’ you mention is either. Can you expand on these please

@yellow-swordfish she uploaded five images and deleted two… was just asking for verification that they were indeed deleted… no they were not deleted, you only removed the picture in the post… I have removed the two you didnt want because of personal info (btw, you do it with remove attachments)…

As Andy says, you need to install it as sp plugin, not wp plugins… see:  https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/plugins/plugin-basics/using-plugins

Thanks for the info Mr. Papa and Yellow Swordfish:)

np… glad to help!
