 * I just installed the latest update. I discovered after the update that the plugin
   is missing. I tried reinstalling, but the reinstall fails because the directory
   already exists.
 * Please remedy this situation so that others don’t experience the same problem
   I encountered.
 * Additionally, please provide feedback on how to resolve. My site is [http://www.seeuncharted.com](http://www.seeuncharted.com)
 * Thank you.

 * The error message I received after discovering the plugin was missing from my
   installations and trying to reinstall…
 * Destination folder already exists. …/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/
 * Plugin install failed.

 * Hi there!
 * That’s odd. Just updated the plugin on a couple of the sites I run and there 
   were no issues.

 * This sounds like something went wrong while WordPress downloaded the new version
   of WPP. Deleting the _wordpress-popular-posts_ folder from your plugins directory
   and installing WPP again should fix the issue.
 * Give that a try and let me knowhow it goes, ok?

 * Hi Hector
 * I got it resolved. Everything is back in working order.
 * Just a heads up in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
 * Plugin is working as it did before the update.
 * Thanks!

 * Awesome, thanks for letting me know!
 * Actually, because of your report I found a minor (unrelated) bug. Might have 
   to push another update hehe
 * For the time being, I’m marking this as resolved 🙂
