 * When I go in to my IWP admin panel, I can update plugins easily enough. However,
   I cannot install new ones. When I go to manage my plugins from admin and click
   on “Install” next to a plugin, it simply doesn’t do anything (except the Process
   Queue box pops up but doesn’t say there is any installing going on, and no plugin
   is actually installed). Anyone else having this problem?
 * Seems to me that without the ability to install plugins from IWP, half the functionality
   of IWP is missing. It’s nice to be able to update, but sometimes I want to install
   several plugins to new sites all at once.
 * I have already sent an email to IWP tech support but no concrete answers have
   been given.

 * I don’t know if you still have this problem, but if you have FTP/SSH/root/admin
   access, look at the permissions of the files and folders, you are probably not
   allwed to create new directories, or some permissions is wrong.
 * The permissions of the files of WordPress should mostly be “0644” for the files
   and “0755” for directories.
