Troubleshooting

"The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive"

Solution: The plugin zip file is too large for your server's upload limit.

• Use FTP method instead (Method 2)

• Or contact your hosting provider to increase the upload limit

---

"Plugin folder already exists"

Solution: A previous installation exists.

• Delete the existing jeelpay-for-woocommerce folder from /wp-content/plugins/

• Re-upload the new version

---

"Missing required plugins: woocommerce"

Solution: WooCommerce is not installed or activated.

• Install WooCommerce first: Plugins > Add New > Search "WooCommerce"

• Activate WooCommerce, then activate JeelPay

---

"HTTP Error" during upload

Solution: Server timeout or memory issue.

• Try uploading via FTP instead

• Or increase PHP memory limit in wp-config.php:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
