Recently, as of April 2025, we received a lot of messages where some servers refuse to download PeepSo plugins and perform the update.
This is particularly prominent on GoDaddy and similar cheap hosting, but it is not always the case. There were reports where users with very expensive and powerful servers experienced same issue. This is one of the reason why we even changed name servers for peepso.com to help preventing the issue from happening again.
If however you experience the issue where updates for PeepSo plugins refuse to download, please do the following
- Deactivate PeepSo completely – Do not worry, this will not erase your PeepSo data or users
- Download this to your computer https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qws14whu6okuhfc9jjekq/peepso-7.0.4.1.zip?rlkey=zz0mzhmj0wff7j1opsoma1wt1&dl=1 It is an updated version of PeepSo 7.0.4.0 installer. Once 7.0.5.0 version is out, this link will be replaced.
- Head to Admin -> Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin and install and activate this package. If WordPress says a plugin already exists, tell it to replace.
- Go to Admin -> PeepSo -> Configuration -> Advanced, scroll down to “Connection to PeepSo.com”
- Make sure the Server is set to Secondary, timeout 30, DNS and SSL disabled
After that, try to update your site again.
