Bizarre Add-Plugin Issue

    I’ve run across a very strange issue. I have a WordPress site which works fine, except that when I attempt to Add a Plugin on the back-end no plugins display and I get the error “Invalid Input” with a “Try Again” button. No text is in the the search box and if add text I get the same error. I can download and install plugins manually without issue.

    I’ve tried this on different servers and hosting.

    1. Create a fresh WP install, Add plugins works fine.
    2. Restore site backup, Add Plugins is broken.
    3. Disable all plugins and revert to WP 2024 Theme or 2025 Theme does not fix it either.
    4. Enable Debug mode, nothing gets recorded or displayed.
    5. wpconfig is basic, nothing but bare bones entries.

    I can only assume this is some sort of corrupted data since it works until I restore the site. I’ve even gone as far as removing all plugins with no luck.

    If anyone has any ideas I sure would appreciate it.
