plugins cannot be install

[awissam]

Hello I purchase CIRCLE FLIP template, I installed the demo content. Hosting: GODADDY WP version: 4.8

MultilingualPress and bbpress plugins cannot be install, error server 500. I tried several time

I asume you are trying to install the plugins from your dashboard. Have you tried installing them via ftp?

Error 500 is an internal server error. Maybe you have some settings misconfigured?

Hope it helps!

Hi @awissam.

If you are using Managed WordPress you will need to connect using sFTP (over port 22). See detailed information here:

@awissam if you upload via ftp/sftp, you should upload the extracted zip file to /wp-conten/plugins/ and then, go to yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php and activate them from there.

Hope it helps!

Hi @awissam,

On many wordpress themes, the resources required after installing demo content may change drastically.  For example, on one of the themes I use, Avada, the base install only requires 40MB memory.  Add the demo for one of the cart setups - up to 256M.  With that said, you may need to increase memory and limits now that you have the demo installed. 

There are quite a few good suggestions and accepted solutions in the community available by searching "wordpress resources limits".

Hope this helps,

James

@awissam just as @JMPepper said, you can increase the memory.

You can do it by creating a file named .user.ini in the root of your website folder, and put this text in it:

memory_limit = 1024M
max_execution_time = 320
max_input_time = 240
post_max_size = 120M
max_input_vars = 2000
file_uploads = 6
max_file_uploads = 20
upload_max_filesize = 100M

@JMPepper made it easier by posting the contents in a reply to another post

Also, edit your wp-config.php so it has:

define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1024M' );

Hope it helps!
