I am struggling to install the latest Multi-Domains plugin update

The dsahboard tells me there is an update available (1.2.2) but i cannot update. Selecting and updating gives me:

An error occurred while updating Multi-Domains for Multisite: Update package not available..

And downloading and then uploading gives me:

Unpacking the package…

Installing the plugin…

The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.

Plugin install failed.

What should I do?

Thanks

    hiya

    thanks for posting.

    it seems that the zip file has an incorrect structure.

    ie. when i unzip the contents i get

    160677_multi-domains-1.2.2/

    160677_multi-domains-1.2.2/multi-domains/

    160677_multi-domains-1.2.2/__MACOSX/

    whereas it should unzip as

    multi-domains/

    [edit]

    The plugin doesn’t live in the /plugins/ directory – you need to

    upload the plugin itself into mu-plugins, and the correct sunrise into

    wp-content/.

    see the project page for specific instructions https://wpmudev.com/project/multi-domains/#usage

    again, sorry for the confusion.

    Hi Vaughan

    Apologies for the late reply, this has been a low priority issue.

    The specific instructions are for setting up the plugin from scratch and involve editing wp-config.php etc. I recommend the update be bundled with some explicit update only instructions to avoid confusion.

    As far as the update bundle being incorrectly packaged, which version of the files should I bee using as there is another set of files inside the __MACOSX folder but they are not identical to the one in the multi-domains/ directory?

    Thanks

    hiya

    thanks for the response. I’ll recommend to our development/documentation team regarding update instructions, as clearly like you say the usage page is geared for fresh installation.

    there’s a new version of multi-domains released since this, that package should be ok. I brought the above to the attention of the developer & it was a mistake in not removing the unnecessary paths. you can ignore any __MACOSX/ folders in any of our plugins, they shouldn’t be there, but sometimes they get missed & accidentally included in the zip packages.

    thanks.
