WP Toolkit stuck at 0% when installing a new instance

Symptoms

Cause

Because of the network issues (WP Toolkit could not download the package due to low speed), the necessary WordPress installation package can not be downloaded.

Resolution

For Linux

  1. Connect to the server via SSH

  2. Download the package manually using any method

  3. Move the package to /usr/local/psa/var/modules/wp-toolkit/packages/ and changed the ownership to the correct one:

    # mv wordpress-5.4.zip /usr/local/psa/var/modules/wp-toolkit/packages/wordpress-5.4.zip

    # chown psaadm:psaadm /usr/local/psa/var/modules/wp-toolkit/packages/wordpress-5.4.zip

  4. Cancel the stuck tasks

  5. Remove the "lock" files:

    # rm -rf /usr/local/psa/var/modules/wp-toolkit/locks/*

For Windows

  1. Connect to the server via RDP

  2. Download the package manually using any method

  3. Move the package to %plesk_dir%varmoduleswp-toolkitpackages
