Download a fresh copy of the plugin from our [install guide here](https://updraftplus.com/support/installing-updraftplus-premium-your-add-on/). Then, unzip and upload to ‘wp-content/plugins’ so it becomes ‘wp-content/plugins/ updraftplus’. * After uploading the files, you can then activate the add-ons and connect plugin to UpdraftPlus.com from your WordPress dashboard. * Regards, Bryle * Thread Starter [patbell101](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patbell101/) * (@patbell101) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-authenticate-typeerror-thrown/#post-12010242) * Done all that.
