   Hello.

   Thanks for the great post. The solution seems quite straight forward method to use when working on a live site that has a cpanel. How do I apply this method if I am using a Wamp server as my local host for a wordpress site. I had uninstalled a plugin and when I tried to reinstall it I got the error message: Installation failed: Destination folder already exists.

   Please help

     For a localhost installation, you should be able to navigate to your site’s folder in your WAMP installation and there you would be able to go to your plugins folder and delete the folder.

   Hi, thanks for this quick tutorial. I was wondering if uploading the plugin with a different zip name would also work since then a new folder would be created with another name? I’m not too sure if this is the right way to go about it though, but I’m looking for other options than FTP since I don’t have access to that myself, just to WordPress. If you could clear that up, that’d be great!

     We would not recommend using that method as depending on the plugin it could cause problems with its features or if you were able to install it under a second name it would cause errors with duplicate function names.

   Hi
   The Filezilla has connect to the Hosts server. and I can see the dirrectory, but when I want to delete the files. Filezilla show message of „permission denied”. Do I need to do anything on Hosts server to permit the files can be deleted?
   thx for promt reply

     We would recommend reaching out to your hosting provider and they should be able to check your permissions for your FTP user.

   Instad of delete you can also rename for the backup purpose (like woocommerce to woocommerce backup )

     That is another option as well but normally if there is an issue with a plugin it would be better to delete the files that are causing the problem.

   Is there a way to fix this without using an FTP client? I’ve never used one before but believe the issue I am having is due to deleting a plug in that I should not have deleted.

     Your hosting provider may have a file manager that would work as an FTP that you could use if you reach out to them for assistance.

   I am a little apprehensive about deleting the Woocommerce folder as I had a bunch of things setup in my Woocommerce shop already-products, etc. Will doing this restore those or will I have to start over? I lost Woocommerce in my plugin list after Wordpress update and now I get this message when trying to install. Thanks.

    I use an older version of WPBakery plugin on my site. The updated version of it is included in my template that I use. What can I do? I tried to upload it but I did not make it.

    Can I delete the old version via FTP method and upload I again? Any risk of losing my current settings on the front-end of my site?

    Odpowiedz

    • WPBeginner Support

      While normally that shouldn’t be an issue, you would want to reach out to WPBakery for if you can safely do that with their settings.

    I am installing a DIFFERENT plugin that uses the same folder name (I guess) so there’s no real solution…? They are both 'accordions’ and it seems crazy WordPress struggles with this at all.

    I received this error message when trying to update a plugin (Modern Events Calendar) to its newer version because an auto-update option is not available.

    If did this manually through the cpanel and deleted the old folder, would I lose my existing content?

    Thanks!

    Odpowiedz

      Hi Jessica,

      We can’t say how the plugin stores data and whether it would still be there. Just to be safe create a complete WordPress backup and then manually update the plugin.

        To be on the safe side, you can rename the existing plugin folder. I usually just add an underscore and the word „old” (_old) to the end of the directory name. Run the new install and test to see if it’s working. If it doesn’t work properly you can just delete it and then go back and change the name of the original folder to its original name. If it does work properly I leave the old folder there for a month or so just to be on the safe side.

    This only works for wordpress.org sites. Do you have a solution for wordpress.com site where FTP and cPanel are not available?

    What an amazing post! I have been waiting for support from my plugin provider for 3 days!!!!! And when speaking to my hosting provider this morning they suggested I Google the error, saying that it was quite common. And you guys came through once again, providing simple and to the point guidance. I’m new to Wordpress and appreciate what you do so much.

    I’ve deleted the offending folder both through FTP, and through my provider’s back end file manager.

    I STILL get the error. I’m stumped.

      Hi Randal,

      As an alternate, you can try to manually install a WordPress plugin through FTP.
