I am trying to install the “Importer Plugin” in my virgin configuration, to prepare migrating from Mingle Forum.

When I use the plugin uploader as part of the options, and upload the zip file, I get an undefined error. “Undefined” means, there is no error code or specific information.

When I copy the folder (non zip) via FTP to the “sp-resouces/forum-plugins” folder, where other plugins are, the plugin administration does not find the importer plugin, although it is definitly there. Other plugins copied to this directory work and are recognized.

What am I missing? Any hint would be fine.

Thanks!

PS: The error log just shows some Notices as below:

Maybe we have not made it quite clear enough in the write up but the Importer plugin is a standard WordPress plugin. Once installed it will add a menu item to the admin forum menu.

Note that it does require an empty forum – no forums defined.

LOL 🙂 That it explains it. My fault.

I am sure it was written somewhere, but after importing several other SP plugins, it was just unexpected, that there is something in between, that installs different.

Thanks!
