# bug in multiples plugin

 * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-multiples-plugin/)
 * I tried installing this plugin:
    [https://github.com/roughsmoothengine/organize-series-multiples/commit/cba0824621dc0171bd0d5eb7ac7af294ec598929](https://github.com/roughsmoothengine/organize-series-multiples/commit/cba0824621dc0171bd0d5eb7ac7af294ec598929)
 * However, I got the following error:
 *     ```
       Warning: require_once(/home/de3xwjgi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/organize-series-multiples/legacy-includes.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/de3xwjgi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/organize-series-multiples-master/organize-series-multiples.php on line 49
   
       Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/de3xwjgi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/organize-series-multiples/legacy-includes.php' (include_path='.:/opt/alt/php73/usr/share/pear') in /home/de3xwjgi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/organize-series-multiples-master/organize-series-multiples.php on line 49
       ```
   
 * There are reports of this on github from more than a year ago but no one responded
   there so I decided to try here.

 * The plugin author has clarified this already here
    [https://github.com/roughsmoothengine/organize-series-grouping/issues/1](https://github.com/roughsmoothengine/organize-series-grouping/issues/1)
   in this way: “… in the meantime if you rename the directory the plugin is installed
   in to organizes-series-grouping instead of organize-series-grouping-master, that
   should fix things for you.” What works based on plugin author’s advice: Upload
   the zip file of the plugin downloaded form GitHub to your plugin folder. But 
   do not activate it. Now through file manager login in to the plugins folder and
   locate the “organize-series-grouping-master” folder. Rename the folder. Essentially,
   you will delete “-master” from the folder’s name. Then log into the sites WordPress
   dashboard and activate the plugin. It activates. This approach should work with
   all the Organize series extensions downloaded from GitHub.

 * Thanks-That worked but with the caveat you have to unzip the files BEFORE you
   upload them for it to work.
