[Resolved] GP Premium not loading to generate press theme

[Pericles]

Hi Leo,

I’m trying to upload the premuium package to the generate press theme and I am getting this message. I’m saving the link as like the instructions read. Could you advise me what I need to do or not do in order to make this work please? Thank you.

Unpacking the package…

Installing the plugin…

Could not create directory. /home/shepgakn/public_html/wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/

Plugin installation failed.

Return to Plugin Installer

Hi there,

This error usually occurs during updating only and no initial install.

Can you try the couple solutions here?

Hi Leo.I don’t see the license key field on the right. Where else would it be located?

Hi Leo. I did the following:

I clicked accounts
then downloads
then under purchase history I clicked view licenses
then I clicked manage sites
then I typed in the URL of my website http://www.shepherdais.com
Then I clicked add site

When I go back to the dashboard there isn’t anywhere to add the key.

Updates can only process if your license key is activated.

“To activate your license key, go to Appearance > GeneratePress in your Dashboard, and add it into the license key field on the right.”

I did go here but that field is not there.

Could you assist me in how I locate that field or what I am doing wrong please?

Thank you,

I think you are looking at the wrong section of the article.

Can you check the two possible solutions under Could not copy file of the article?

Hi Leo. Dang it

I tried uploading that Easy theme plugin and I got this message:

Installation failed: Could not create directory.

What do I do now? I’m sorry for the hassle.

Hmm it sounds like a server issue now.

Try solution #2 in that section:

Hi Leo. When I was setting up the CPanel at name cheap I had gone to files manager, the html folder and had changed the plugin folder’s name to plugins1 instead of plugins. When I changed it back from a you tube video I saw then the plugin worked. Now I see the license key where I will add it into . Thank you for the help.
