hi. i used this plugin, but now when i try to delete, or overwrite some php file, from plugins that has been updated it’s giving “permission denied.” How can i solve this?

The Plugin only downloads the .zip files to /packages/ but does not install them. The .zip files are owned by Webserver on download and not owned by You (= me;) My rights are limited by Servage Provider.

When I go to the online filemanager and unzip them online they are unzipped in /packages/ so still no update is done!?

What can I do to change this and get the Plugin Updater to work?

Does this plugin really work with Wordpress v2.5? I’ve had some messages about updates and then it works, but some plugin updates aren’t recognized? Is this because of the new plugins or this version of the updater?

Other than that’s it’s a great plugin, I think this is the best of the bunch!

I really love this plugin and it works excellent, but there is one thing that I’d like to see in a future version: the option to add new plugins and delete unwanted plugins. That would make it a lot easier to work with plugins since there wouldn’t require a ftp program to do that sort of work.

I upgraded from PHP4 to PHP5. Then reactivated all my plugins. Now, when I try to update a plugin I get the “Downloading” message and graphic but nothing happens. I checked write permissions and all required directories are read/writeable.

Hm …in the beginning I was getting the same “ERROR:Package directory not writable.” message like Austin did. Tracking it down it seems like things where somehow cached. I suspected the WP-Cache plugin to be the problem and disabled it. Still I am only getting the the zip downloaded but not extracted. Again digging deeper it seems like the AJAX response is somehow always empty so the extract is skipped. I was able to reproduce this with Safari and Firefox.

Let me know if I can help to track this down. Would be great to get this plugin fully working.

cheers

Vineet,
Thanks I must have forgot. If you redownload it, I’ve added it now.

UPDATE 3:

TRENT:

I cleared the “Packages” directory, returned to the Plugins tab on the WP dashboard, used the “Update…” button for “All In One SEO Pack” and all went well.

As far as the WP-RSSImport, this is one of those “non-standard” packages you had mentioned previously. I have the rss-import.php file ONLY in my Plugins directory and the updater is decompressing the entire updated directory (creating an rss-import directory). I have removed the *.php file and am using the directory now. This should, hopefully, clear any future issues with this plugin.

Thanks for the AWSOME plugin. This makes thing SO much easier!

Trent:

Sorry for the delayed response…

Initially it was ANY plugin, however, I researched the problem and discovered that some of the plugins were installed using the username/group created on my system when Apache was installed. I “chown”ed these to myself and all but one worked fine.

The only one I’m having problems with now is:

“All In One SEO Pack”

Sideline — WP-RSSImport updates but now I have two (2) entries (one is current, the other says there is an update available)
