DivTag and plugins can't be downloaded/installed

Hello,

I went to install Newsmag theme onto my blog and am getting an error message. It says:

“Downloading installation package from https://www.devianthalloween.com/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/plugins/td-composer.zip…
Download failed. cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate”

The theme plugins were working when I bought it earlier this year, but now this is happening. Can I get some support on this? My support service has expired, but obviously I’m not going to renew it if this is unfixable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, the error implies your SSL cert is bad, have you checked that first?

You can also install via ftp, as best way.

I’ve downloaded, extracted and placed the td-composer folder and contents (the divtag plugin) into the wp-content/themes/newsmag/includes/plugins directory via FTP.

However, I don’t see the plugin added in WordPress.

Is there something else I need to do?

I’m pretty new to this. Thanks for your help 🙂

Hi,

Plugins are installed in the WordPress plugins folder, that is where you have to upload the plugin

Some more info about installing plugins by FTP here

That folder you mention inside the theme files, contains plugins which can be installed from the theme
