plugin activation/updating not working

edited June 2015 in Blame Posts: 27

Hello I tried to install the 3 following plugins for use in Blame several times now: 1 WPBakery Visual Composer / folder js_composer_mod 2 revslider 3 LayerSlider all taken from Blame/advance/plugins

Please note; the Contact Form Plugin from this folder I installed and unzipped normally..

I can see them in the proper folder in filezilla (wp-content/themes/Blame/advance/plugins), installed them manually, even twice All seem to be in the proper plugin window in wordpress: even with the proper versions:

For plugin install attempt Revolution slider i get this message: Downloading installatiepakket van http://www.danceatwork.nl/wp-content/themes/Blame/advance/plugins/revslider.zip… Download failed. Failed to connect to www.danceatwork.nl port 80: Connection timed out Plugin not activated. A higher version of Revolution Slider is needed for this theme. Please update the plugin. For plugin install attempt WPBakery Visual Composer i get this message: Downloaden installatiepakket van http://www.danceatwork.nl/wp-content/themes/Blame/advance/plugins/js_composer.zip… Download mislukt. Failed to connect to www.danceatwork.nl port 80: Connection timed out Plugin not activated. A higher version of WPBakery Visual Composer is needed for this theme. Please update the plugin.


Then when trying to update I get: Updating Plugin WPBakery Visual Composer (1/3) Downloaden update van http://www.danceatwork.nl/wp-content/themes/Blame/advance/plugins/js_composer.zip… Fout opgetreden tijdens het bijwerken van WPBakery Visual Composer: Download mislukt.

i do not believe this connection timed outmessage as I am uploading in filezilla without any problems..

Please advice. thx.

    Hello there:-)

    On some servers updating plugins(embeded in theme) just doesn't work, when using this update "plugin", and no one know why. If you like I can make some tests on your server to understand what is happening. However if you don't have time for this then you can install them manually.

    -To do it go to blame/advance/plugins
    -find there ZIP files with plugins
    -Go to Admin panel->Plugins->Add new->Upload Plugin and there install plugins

    If it wont help you might try to change them by FTP in wp-content/plugins directory.

    Hope that helps.

    With kind regards.

    hello, thanks for the swift response, where on blame/advance/plugins? at your or my server?

    After your response, will try and then come back for your test.

    And please note, like I said, other plugins install normally from my server.

    Kind regards, Horst

    DO you have access to my server? If yes, then this is bad:-P

    As I said before - problems are with plugins embeded in theme. Conctact form 7 is not embeded in theme, but you(updating plugin) is downloading it form wordpress plugin repository.
