New install of WordPress, just purchased Newspaper which seemed to install fine. Then came the plugins and this happens.

Installing Plugin: tagDiv Composer

The plugin does not have a valid header.

Downloading installation package from https://www.domainname.com /wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/plugins/td-composer.zip?uid=5bddf7b6669a1…

Download failed. cURL error 6: Couldn’t resolve host ‘www.domainname.com%0D%0A’

Return to tagDiv plugins panel

While not sure if this will cause future issues or some underline problem, I did manage to install all of the plugins by hand.

Hello DJJones,

This issue happens in particular cases and is tied to a specific server and PHP configuration. There are a few steps in solving this issue, however.
1. Check file permissions: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-fix-file-and-folder-permissions-error-in-wordpress/
2. change PHP version on your host and check security modules.
3. comment out the check for the error from the WordPress code:

4. Install the plugins via FTP: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-manually-update-wordpress-plugins-via-ftp/

Hope this helps.

Thank you!
