Plugins Not Installing

edited July 2014 in Adamant Posts: 3
I'm currently going through the installation of the site. Trying to set up the dummy demo content (following the documentation). It's currently looking nothing like the demo site.
I'm onto the part where I am to install the required plugins.
None of the required plugins will install. The following message appears next to each: ' Download failed. Failure when receiving data from the peer.'

Please help.

Thanks :)

    Hi,
    this problem is server related (i'm sure for 99%) which has disabled loopback connections for PHP applications. So you should examine this option (by yourself or by your hosting provider).
    I'll check this again and inform you asap.
    For now you have another solution:
    copy all plugin packages
    from /wp-content/themes/adamant/inc/plugins/
    into /wp-content/plugins/
    and unzip them so you'll have something like this:
    /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/
    /wp-content/plugins/revslider/
    /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/
    /wp-content/plugins/go_pricing/
    /wp-content/plugins/vc_extend_apollo13/

    then go to admin panel menu >> Plugins >> Installed Plugins
    and activate manually all plugins.
    Should work.

    I'm just waiting to hear back from my hosting provider regarding this.
    I've been trying to make sense of your alternative solution in the meantime, but don't quite understand.
    Are the "/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/" etc URLs or file locations on my computer? I can't seem to find them on computer or online...?

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Check this wordpress documantation http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins section 'Manual Plugin Installation'.

    ps. I was writing about file locations not URLs.
