I ran it from the wp-content/plugins sub-directory.

composer require symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7 auth0/wordpress:^5.0

Hi @seranca, thanks for the detailed breakdown. Can you please open a shell, cd into wp-content/plugins/auth0, run composer install and see if that changes anything for you?

There is no folder Auth0, I made a symbolic link to try to make wordpress recognize the plugin.

plugins/auth0 points to /vendor/auth0

auth0 → …/vendor/auth0/wordpress

I run composer install but it won’t do anything as it is already installed

@evansims Thanks for your help. I solve it by restarting the apache server.

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

Hi, for anyone wondering.

The problem lies because Wordpress won’t detect the plugin. So creating a symbolic link or creating a custom Plugin Loader which summons Auth0 might do the trick

Hi @seranca :wave: Glad you got it sorted out!

A custom plugin loader and/or symlink should not be at all necessary, but the particular configuration of the server software you’re using may have unique constraints around it’s PHP search pathing. I only note it here as a caution, as that would not be one-size-fits-all advice to follow.
