Hello,
Just wondering if anyone could help. I did something stupid and started my blog using a numerical archive system, and now I'd like to change it so that the post title is part of the URL for SEO reasons. Is there any Wordpress plugins that anyone knows of that could switch it without sending Googlers to invalid pages? Maybe some sort of redirector to the correct page?

Thanks.

People… sorry if I may sound a bit crude, but WPPM is currently off-download and off-support (has been for the past month): the latest version had many things broken, and I simultaneously realized that I just didn’t have the time to take care of it any more.
Please read the message linked at the top of this post: http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/wppm/

Normally, every single download links have been removed. If you have found a download link on one of my page that still let you download WPPM, please let me know so I can remove it as well.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, I found that one out myself. Actually the extension file goes in there but never out. The extension directory is created with dr—-x–t mask (on an earlier experiment with d–xr—-t mask). The error message reads:

Created plugin data folder (‘wp-content/wp-cc’) in ‘wp-content/’.

Warning: stat failed for wp-content/wp-cc/wp-cc.php (errno=13 – Permission denied) in /var/www/pmk/technozid/htdocs/wp-plugin-mgr.php on line 575

Warning: Rename failed (Permission denied) in /var/www/pmk/technozid/htdocs/wp-plugin-mgr.php on line 581
Could not copy ‘wp-cc.php’ to plugin data folder, make sure permissions are set correctly.

Hello!

I installed the 1.8 version of the plugin and all seemed okay. The I tried to install Gravatar Signup using One Click. I go this message:

Warning: fopen(wp-content/plugin_manager/tmp/tmp.zip): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/crowspea/public_html/wp-plugin-mgr.php on line 454
Fatal Error: Couldn’t write downloaded archive to ‘wp-content/plugin_manager/tmp/tmp.zip’

I get this message with any plugin I try to install using One Click. Also, the plugin seems to have changed the owner of the WP Plugin Manager directory so I can (a) change permissions or (b) delete the files.

Lately I’m getting the following error:

Warning: ini_set(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module’s ini settings at this time. in /home/bookiebo/public_html/blog/wp-plugin-mgr.php on line 77

Thanks for this great piece of software

I’m having the same issue as Jason B. above. My hosting service (dreamhost) recently disabled ‘allow_url_fopen’ (remote file opening) and recommended the use of curl in it’s place (http://blog.unitedheroes.net/archives/p/1630/ & http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php). I’ve become too dependent on the Plugin Manager to be happy with hands on management of plugins ;-p Any chance of the manager being ‘adjusted’ to use curl?

zaque: it doesn’t use curl, it uses (can’t remember what) but that means that it doesn’t work on Dreamhost hosted sites (they disabled the function I can’t remember but recommend curl).

Dave: if you ever go about re-working WPPM, could it use curl instead? That’d probably be a pain in the ass (I tried looking at the code and seeing if I could mod it but my php skills are quite rusty) but wit would make DreamHost WordPress users quite the happy little clams.

thanks for the great plugins!

I love the idea of this plugin manager, but am having two problems:

1) the directories that the manager creates have no permissions set to them, so the rest of the script can’t ever access these directories. I have to go in an manually set permissions to 755 and re-run the instilation, which then works just fine.

2) once the instilation is complete, it never actually moves the main plug in file to the plugin directory, even through there is a message indicating that it has done so. I have to, again, go in manually and move the main PHP to the plugin directory for it to show up.

A little about Theme Manager and .zip
I could not install .zip with Theme Manager but .tgz and tar.gz worked. I use Apache2 and PHP5 og FreeBSD 5.3. What i did was this
Edit wp-theme-mgr.php and change this line
$cmd = “unzip “;
to
$cmd = “/usr/local/bin/unzip “;
And it work like a charm, hope this will help somone
Regards and thanks

Alright,I know what’s wrong. ANd I know that means I can’t use the plugin manager. I get this error when I try to run it now:

Fatal Error: Remote file opening disabled on this install of PHP: this plugin cannot properly function.

My web host recently turned off a specific PHP function for opening remote files. They say for security. Is therea different/better PHP function that can be used for this? I love the plugin manager. Makes my life so much easier and it sucks that I can’t use it.

But I know it’s a problem on my end and not necessarily something that can be fixed by you. But worth a shot. keep up the great work on this stuff.

I think I really goofed. I installed the plugin manager, and was checking it out. Now my site is gone. White page. I can’t access anything, even by direct url. Is there a possibility that the manager did this?

Are there any plans to integrate the plugin manager interface into the WordPress Administration Panel? It’d be so much nicer to have it right there rather than have an external page to visit every time. I would love to see this integrated into the Dashboard!

Hi!
I’ve got a problem with your plugin manager, and I hope I’m right here for help.
Whenever I install a plugin it works fine (as far as I can say) as long as its files are included by PHP. But as soon as I have to call a file directly (via the address bar in my browser) I get an error: 500 Internal Server error.
Any ideas why? My host said it might be due to the wrong permissions given to the files installed by the script. It worked when they re-chmod-ed everything to 644. (Only I would appreciate it if the manager actually did this itself.)
Regards,
Christian

Say, small issure for a superb tool…
every time I access plugin manager, my server logs this error:
Type: 404

Referring Page: http://www.myURL.com/wp-plugin-mgr.php

I looked to the “url-to-your-picture in the plugin and do not see it, also not the “http://www.www” I am not sure why the double set of “w”’s…
I am using plugin manager version 1.7.0b
