  • Can you upload plugins manually using FTP?

    Okay, I’ve noticed that depending on your firewall settings this could be an issue. Also, it would help to know if you are uploading a plugin after having download it or are you trying to download it directly form WP and install it?

    On my local PC that never work (firewall I think). On hosted services it works like a charm.

    I think I figured it out.

    I kept getting the error after installing WordPress and leaving the default email as is. Once I changed the default email (in set-up) to my hotmail account everything started working again.

    Good Luck.
