Does it show it every time you try to update it?
A solution would be to delete manually that plugin from your /wp-content/plugins folder, then reinstall it manually if there were no important settings. This error is commonly caused when you have tried to update and it failed the first time, and then you tried again but with no result, as the plugin thinks that the folder already exists and cannot be overwritten.

This is permission error, server administrator only can set default permission

hello old member :slight_smile:

can you tell us which plugin can not be installed ?

do you have the ability to upload that plugin over FTP and then follow the instructions ?

in your last post you mentioned the problem with permission
does this mean that you accidentally changed chmod irretrievably for eg. wordpress plugin folder ?
