    Hi,
    Although I can download themes or plugins manually I can’t figured out why the automatic installation is not working. The error message now is changing and says this:

    Installation failed: Could not copy file. buddypress/bp-core/images/60pc_black.png

    Installation failed: Could not copy file. twentytwenty/assets/images/2020-landscape-1.png

    Any help, please?

    Hi,

    What I’ve done is to go to the root where I have WordPress installed and I checked the folders. I installed some plugins by downloading the plugin into the wp-content folder/plugin folder. It worked, but if I have to do this every time it would be contra productive. I also noticed that when I deleted the default plugins, I got a message saying that the plugin wasn’t deleted completely. It doesn’t appear on the dashboard but it still in the plugin folder. Furthermore, there is a default file in both, plugins and themes folders named Index that says only a short code message:
    <?php
    // Silence is golden.
    Any thoughts about what is this file for and why the automatic downloading doesn’t work?
    Thanks

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the links but I couldn’t follow the guidelines. I am not familiar with the process of transferring files using an SFTP client. Besides, I don’t know where else I can get the installation file of a plugin or theme outside WordPress, and then installing them back to WordPress manually.
    My local virtual host has no content. I decided to delete and created a new one, by the way I’m using WAMP server. Unfortunately, it didn’t sort out the problem. I can’t understand what is causing the problem. There’s no plugins or themes apart from the default ones that should cause any conflict, hence I don’t know why now the automatic updating is not working. I can’t download or updated anything.

    Thanks for your help and interest
