Console Error during importing of recommended plugins.

Hi Eric,

the code in question refers to the plugin install AJAX call and it looks like it’s failing for you and so the response.data is undefined for some reason.

Could you please reproduce this and have the browser console’s “network” tab opened when you do it (filter to only see the “Fetch/XHR” requests). Once the error pops up in the console, please take a look at the last AJAX call and see what the response is. Please share the response here, so we can see what the issue might be. Also, please let us know which plugin fails to install? Does this happen for all plugins or just certain ones?

Take care!

The response is a 302 redirect

It appears to happen on 'slug' => 'wp-svg-images', and 'slug' => 'wordpress-seo',

Hi Eric,

could you please share your whole ocdi/register_plugins callback, if possible? I mean the entire list of your required plugins, so I can test it out and see if I get the same issue. Because the two plugins you mentioned above are both available publicly on www.remarpro.com, so it’s strange they would cause issues.

Thanks!

Hello, any thoughts?

Hi @wormeyman,

sorry about the delay, I didn’t get a notification from your previous message.

I think the issue is with some plugins having a request redirect. For example this plugin “GenerateBlocks”. When its activated for the first time, it will steal whatever the next admin request will be and it will display their “admin lading page”.

That’s what is causing issues for your next plugin installs. They fail, because the plugins are stealing request after they are activated.

You’ll have to find a way to disable those “auto-redirects after first activation” for those plugins that do that and then the install process will work OK. Some plugins have WP options that can be set to skip such redirect, but each plugin is different. So maybe contacting them with a question on how to do that, would be best.

Take care!

For those wondering what the answer to generate blocks is the code is:

add_filter( 'generateblocks_do_activation_redirect', '__return_false' );

Hi Eric,

thank you for sharing this with us.

Have a nice day!
