Topic : WordPress Plugin Installation

Posted By: raptor235 on June 29, 2015, 8:04 pm

Hi guys, I'm building out a mod/plugin to auto install a WordPress plugin with the WordPress once click install....

I'm following the following instructions https://www.softaculous.com/docs/Adding_Plugins and things are going well.

The question I have is around the zip plugin... is there there anyway to pull the plugin from the repo rather then embedding the zip directly into the extension for softaculous?

Hi,

Yes you can use the repo to download the package
In mod.php please search for sunzip and there instead of unzipping the package you can write the code to download the package and then unzip it.

Let us know if you need any assistance.

Great thank you...

as a follow up question I've been following https://www.softaculous.com/docs/Adding_Plugins but I'm having trouble getting the plugin to show up...

I've found two dirs that were setup by the installer one is in /var/softaculous/wp where I see the files for configuring and installing WordPress and the other path is /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/enduser/

the support doc say to put the plugin files into /PATH/TO/softaculous/conf/mods/wp/
but I can't find a conf/mods folder anywhere... is that doc out of date?

I've tried putting the files into the wp dir but the file isn't showing up.... there is another plugin in the installation process called limit login attempts https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ic72gp16vgn9jt/Screenshot%202015-07-02%2009.26.41.png?dl=0 but I haven't been able to find this plugin anywhere either...

Fox example I've unzipped the attached zip file into /var/softaculous/wp, logged out and back in and the plugin still isn't showing.

Hi,

You will need to create the conf and mods directory :

Code
mkdir /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/conf/

mkdir /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/conf/mods/
