• woocommerce-offtopic

• Is the file there and uncorrupted? Can you manually extract the plugin into the right place, via shell or FTP? – Rup Commented May 4, 2019 at 15:28

It sounds like the plugin installation was borked for some reason. Best bet is to use FTP to transfer all plugin files from your local computer to the proper plugin folder. Check the plugin docs for help with a manual re-install so you don't overwrite a settings file, for instance.

Plugin help is best done through the plugin support area, though....not here.

Yesterday, upgraded to GoDaddy Business Hosting Plan. To my pleasant surprise today, I could activate the WooCommerce plugin. Not sure the mystery behind my earlier removal of WooCommerce, then trying to install without success.

It seems like it's a type of plugin conflict. Try these solutions:

1. Update the plugin: Make sure your plugin is not outdated
2. Install the plugin manually.
3. Try to contact your plugin forum If you still getting this error. Try this video:- https://www.youtube/watch?v=jQijXeUKsWk&t=22s
