Hey @Chrilles_Wybrandt

Does this happen when you try uploading any plugin to add it to the Favorites or only some?
And can you please try temporarily deactivating all non-MainWP plugins and see if that helps?

I have the same issue. In my case it happens with any plugin zip I upload on the install plugins screen. If I go to the favorites and upload there it will work.

It happens with every plugin. I have tried to disable and enable the MWP Favorites plugin but it made no difference.
Best,
Chrilles

Happening to me too.

Thanks for the update.
We couldn’t reproduce the issue on any of our test Dashboards.

@Chrilles_Wybrandt
Can you please try temporarily deactivating all plugins except for the MainWP Dashboard and the Favorites extension and see if that helps?

If it doesn’t, would you mind opening a private Help Desk ticket so we can collect some additional information & investigate further?

any progress on this? i thought it would have been addressed by now. it’s happening on my mainwp too. i can only upload the method Eric Leuthardt suggested.

I have now created a support ticket.

@Chrilles_Wybrandt @hue

We have confirmed the issue of adding plugins/themes to Favorites from the Dashboard > Install Plugins/Themes > Upload .zip file page.
The fix will be included in the next release of Favorites.

The workaround until then is to add plugins/themes to Favorites from the Dashboard > Extension > Favorites page.
