    Hi,
    Using current version of wp (4.23 and have had nothing but trouble with my plug-ins. I cannot update or install them. For the updates, I do get a successful message, but if I go off that page and back it shows no upgrade.

    In debug mode I am getting these error messages (by the way, the folder DOES NOT EXIST:)

    Installing Plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com 3.6.1

    Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/jetpack.3.6.1.zip…

    Unpacking the package…

    Installing the plugin…

    Destination folder already exists. /httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/

    Plugin install failed.

    Return to Plugin Installer

    I have tried many different configurations recommended for wp-config, but the only one that even gets me this far is

    define( ‘WP_TEMP_DIR’ , ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/tmp’ );

    These are the ones that fail, completely (when they are NOT remmed out, of course!:)

    /* define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ‘/usr/local/www/vhosts/chispaces.com/httpdocs/wp-content/tmp/’); */

    /* define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ‘/usr/local/www/vhosts/chispaces.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads’); */

    /* define( ‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/tmp’ ); */

    /* define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ‘/usr/local/www/vhosts/chispaces.com/httpdocs/wp-content’);*/

    Please help1 I am not a programmer so do not know where to go from here. I am not afraid to copy and paste code, but have no idea where to that, and in what way. By the way, I did add a tmp directory to wp-content.

    Thanks so much in advance,
    Debbie
