Add Files to EasyReservations Plugin
-
Hi,
I am trying to install .zip files to an existing plugin, easyreservations. If I try to do this through easyreservations it asks for my FTP credentials which I know WP doesn’t allow. Is there another way to upload these files?
I asked the easy reservations support team and the most helpful info they could give me was this….”You somehow have to get the premium files into /wp-content/plugins/easyreservations/”
Thank you

Hi rainakellyowner,
If I try to do this through easyreservations it asks for my FTP credentials which I know WP doesn’t allow. Is there another way to upload these files?
As you mentioned, FTP access isn’t provided on WordPress.com. If the plugin doesn’t support installing the .zip files another way, you’ll likely need to look for an alternative which is more compatible with WordPress.com — by that I mean it doesn’t rely on FTP access. I don’t have a specific reservation plugin recommendation but you can search for alternatives here:

If you have any questions, you’re welcome to start a chat :)

Just adding to my last reply — I found the installation instructions and it looks like you may just need to install the plugin from My Sites > Plugins > Upload Plugin (on the right):
Alternatively, the plugin can be installed directly from here:
https://wordpress.com/plugins/easyreservations/resortwave.com

@gemmacevans thanks but the link you’re referring to is the basic plugin which I already have. The files I can’t upload are for the premium version. I’m really shocked there’s no workaround for this considering files are uploaded to wp/content all the time via themes and plugin so it’s not like we’re talking about doing the impossible.

The business plan sites on WordPress.com are set up differently than a traditional WordPress installation. There are a few limitations, ftp access being one of those.

I forgot to mention, the business plan does include priority live chat support 7 days per week. You can access the live chat team via https://wordpress.com/help/contact/ and it will be the quickest way to find a resolution for questions.
We’re happy to help here, of course, but it takes longer since the forums are asynchronous by nature.
Write back to me here if you can’t reach us on live chat.

Thanks Liz. I actually worked with the developer’s support team and they resolved it for me. Appreciate all the help and I will use the live chat in the future!

Thanks @rainakellyowner. I didn’t see the chat here so I thought I’d follow up:
Did you end up downloading the theme, adding the zipped files to it, and zipping it up again? Just asking for future reference in case someone else finds this thread.

Hey @supernovia I actually tried that and the developer said it should work but the installation failed every time (maybe I did it wrong). He ended up sending me a newly released update with the premium files already embedded.
