However, we also recognize the occasional frustration when those plugins just refuse to install. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you can\u2019t install a WordPress plugin, there can be multiple reasons why this is happening. We&#8217;re here to help you find out what happened and show you how you can fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Usually, not being able to install a plugin on WordPress comes down to a few key issues. We&#8217;ll cover all of these below. Let&#8217;s start with the most common issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Wrong directory and file permissions\/ownership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can happen due to incorrect file or directory permissions, ownership, or both. This error can also be found as a 403 forbidden error and may happen while transferring or editing files via FTP or SSH with different Linux users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To fix this issue, make sure all folder permissions are set to 755 and all file permissions are set to 644. This lets only the file owner have full access to the files and folders. You can easily do this with the <code>chmod<\/code> command inside the <code>DocumentRoot<\/code> of your WordPress website on the specific files and directories with incorrect permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also change the permissions for all the files and directories in the <code>DocumentRoot<\/code> with these commands. Make sure you are already inside the folder where your WordPress installation is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +\nfind . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} + <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also need to change the ownership of the files and directories to your web server&#8217;s user. Depending on your web server and Linux distribution, this user is named differently. It could be <code>www-data<\/code>, <code>nginx<\/code>, or <code>apache<\/code>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To set the ownership of your WordPress installation, let&#8217;s say your WordPress is installed at the directory \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/. To change the ownership of the entire installation to your web server user (in our example it is www-data), you can do that like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that, your web server should now be able to access all WordPress files and folders properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. PHP memory limit is too low<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another error that you may face is exhausting your server&#8217;s PHP memory limit with the following error message: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, you should increase the PHP memory limit from <strong>cPanel<\/strong> or by finding the <code>php.ini<\/code> file on your server and increasing the value for the <code>memory_limit<\/code> variable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changing your PHP memory limit using cPanel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can change the memory limit from cPanel by logging in to your cPanel account and navigating to the &#8220;MultiPHP INI Editor&#8221; and selecting the WordPress domain. In the Select Location drop-down menu, then you can change the \u201cmemory_limit\u201d value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changing your PHP memory limit using the php.ini file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are not using cPanel you can find the <code>php.ini<\/code> file by creating a <code>phpinfo.php<\/code> file that will show you the <code>php.ini<\/code> location on your server. In most cases it is found at <code>\/etc\/php\/php.ini<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the file using your preferred text editor. Then edit the <code>memory_limit<\/code> variable. If it is set to 128M for example, set it to 256M or 512M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Incompatible plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes plugin incompatibility may be the issue when you are installing a new plugin. You may have a conflict between your already installed plugins, or your theme. Due to this, you won\u2019t be able to install the new plugin. You can test this by installing a WordPress plugin compatibility checker or disabling all the plugins one by one to check which plugin is causing the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the plugins may have requirements which you can check before installing. This may include incompatibility with certain plugins or themes, which PHP or WordPress versions can be used and possibly even required plugins that you might not have installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Insufficient access rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget to check the WordPress user that you are logged in as when trying to install plugins. You may be logged in with a WordPress user whose role is <strong>Author, Editor, Contributor <\/strong>or <strong>Subscriber<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, to install WordPress plugins or themes you should be logged in with an <strong>Administrator <\/strong>or <strong>Super Admin<\/strong> user on your WordPress. Only these WordPress roles can install or manage plugins and themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Debugging errors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some errors you may need more information to find out what went wrong. For this purpose, you can enable WordPress debugging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, you should navigate to the <code>DocumentRoot<\/code> of the WordPress website and edit the <code>wp-config.php<\/code> file. You should find the following line in the file: <code>('WP_DEBUG', false);<\/code><em> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then you change it to <code>true<\/code> and add the following lines to enable debugging: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );\n\n \/\/ Enable Debug logging to the \/wp-content\/debug.log file \n\ndefine( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );\n\n\/\/ Disable display of errors and warnings define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );\n\n@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );\n\n define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then go ahead and save the <code>wp-config.php<\/code> file edits and check the log file that you can find in <code>wp-content\/debug.log<\/code> inside your WordPress base directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the output of that log, there could be a bug in the plugin you have, or the plugin code itself may crash due to incompatibility. You&#8217;ll have to see what the log output contains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re lacking storage or RAM however, you should consider moving to a provider that can give you more resources for your money.
