How to Fix the “Plugin Installation Failed” Error in WordPress

 Now the plugin files are in place. To finalize the installation, log in to your WordPress admin dashboard (if you logged out, or switch back to your browser). Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins. You should see the plugin you just uploaded listed there. (If it’s not there, try refreshing the page. If it still doesn’t appear, double-check that you placed the folder in the correct wp-content/plugins path and that the folder name isn’t nested an extra level. For example, sometimes you might accidentally have wp-content/plugins/plugin-name/plugin-name/files... – there should not be a duplicate nested folder of the same name.) Assuming it’s listed, click Activate under the plugin name. WordPress will activate the plugin, and you should get a success message.
