Hi Bettina
I got this error message this week when trying to update woocommerce, woocommerce admin and PayPal Payments.

An error occurred while updating WooCommerce: The package could not be installed.

Could you help me with this? thanks

Beto

Hello Beto,

Please try to update the plugins manually, via FTP/cPanel-> https://www.techjunkie.com/package-could-not-be-installed-no-valid-plugins-were-found-in-wordpress/

Hi Anamaria

Thanks for the answer but this is not the case …. these are plugins that were already installed since the beginning of the site, woocommerce. They always updated automatically. These are not new plugins. the messages I get are:
Update failed: Unable to create directory. woocommerce/includes/admin/meta-boxes
Update failed: Unable to create directory. woocommerce-admin/dist/number
Update failed: Unable to create directory. woocommerce-paypal-payments/modules/ppcp-button/assets/js

Thanks and regards
Beto

Hello Beto!

Please make sure you have the latest update of the theme(11.3.2) and plugins, and all the requirements are done as you can see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.

Please let me know the results!

Thank you!
