2. Then, you have to find the destination folder left behind by the theme or plugin that failed to install or delete.
Themes are usually found in /public_html/wp-content/themes/, and plugins in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/.
If you have more than one domain on your account, and you want to access the files of one of your add-on domains, then make sure to access that domain’s folders, like this: /public_html/yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/.
3. Delete the folder by right-clicking on it and selecting Delete.
I’ll use cPanel as an example.
4. Now you can go ahead and reinstall your plugin or theme from your Dashboard.
When trying to install 2 required Plugins, Neuron Cove and Revolution SLider, I am getting failure message due to following;
"An error occured while installing Neuron Cove: Destination folder already exists."
"An error occured while installing Revolution Slider: Destination folder already exists."
Hi,
How to fix the “Destination folder already exists” error in WordPressThe fix is quite easy!
1. First, you need to access your WordPress files.
2. Then, you have to find the destination folder left behind by the theme or plugin that failed to install or delete.
Themes are usually found in /public_html/wp-content/themes/, and plugins in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/.
If you have more than one domain on your account, and you want to access the files of one of your add-on domains, then make sure to access that domain’s folders, like this: /public_html/yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/.
3. Delete the folder by right-clicking on it and selecting Delete.
I’ll use cPanel as an example.
4. Now you can go ahead and reinstall your plugin or theme from your Dashboard.
If it fails to install properly again, leaving the destination folder behind, delete it once more, and then try to do a manual installation, directly on your FTP.
