 * Hello,
 * I am trying to get this plugin installed on one of my client’s wordpress blog
   but I keep getting this:
    “” Installing Plugin: Blogger Importer 0.6 Downloading
   install package from [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/blogger-importer.0.6.zip…](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/blogger-importer.0.6.zip…)
 * Unpacking the package…
    “” and it just stays like that and does not get installed.
   The only thing coming to my mind that could be an issue is that we are using 
   WP 3.1 as the php on our server does not allow us to accommodate a newer version.
 * Any help as to how to fix this would be very appreciated.
    Thanks in advance 
   for your time in looking into this.

 * I’ve looked at the file and it seems to be valid. I’m not in a position to test
   that change myself as I’m working on a different code stream.

 * Will need to check with Daryl who made the change, I’ll see if I can contact 
   him via Twitter.

 * The fix adds a small security code to the restart button to stop malicious calls
   where someone might reset the importer for you. Assuming that you remove the 
   importer once you’ve finished using it then you should be safe on the 0.5 version.

 * Not sure why this would happen, and I can’t imagine it’s related to the changes
   I pushed today. The plugin specifies that it requires WP 3.0 (so 3.1 should be
   ok), and the two function calls I added (wp_nonce_field() and check_admin_referer())
   date to way before even 3.0. At any rate, it sounds like you’re having trouble
   with the plugin installation process and not the plugin itself. You’ll probably
   need to work with your hosting company or consult error logs to figure out what’s
   happening. You could also perhaps try downloading the plugin zip file, unzipping
   it, and uploading the resulting folder (named blogger-importer) into your wp-
   content/plugins folder.

 * Hey guys ,
 * thanks for the quick replies! I can’t be related to changes made today as I had
   the same issue last Friday.
 * I will try the manual install but your analysis seems correct: I tried installing
   Google Analytics Dashboard for WP 4.2 which is compatible with this version of
   WP as well and it did not work so the issue is definately that I cannot install
   plugins!
 * Thank you so much for this!
