Hi @ppnsteve,
Could you please manually remove smush plugin directory from wp-content/plugins and reinstall it? Something must have gone wrong during the update.
Best regards,
Anton
Hi,
here’s what I got doing a fresh install: Installation failed: Could not create directory. wp-smushit/app/views/meta-boxes/directory
UPDATE:
I found out what was happening.. it was over aggressive (super) cache somehow not letting my plugins update if they need to create a new dir.. (my events plugin had same issue) so clearing all the cache files seemed to resolve the problem.
Thanks.

@ppnsteve,
Can you try to manually copy the files to wp-content/plugins?

all is fine with updating.. THANKS!
I did run into another issue however.. It seems that the plugin struggles with and stalls on larger uploaded .png files (over the free size limit) and either errors out (something about back end image processing failing) or we end up with a corrupt, unreadable png image.
so adding new .png files between approx 2 – 5mb seem to be the worst at this
@ppnsteve,
Can you please share the exact error message?
It seems to be related to your host in some way. Could you also provide the PHP version and the max_execution_time value?
Best regards,
Anton
Can’t get the exact error message right now but will next time I see it.. We’re on php 7.3.11 and max execution is currently set to 180 secs for 7.3..
