Title: Unblock Files / Plugins
Post by: Adroit on June 06, 2012, 03:42:31 PM

When trying to enable plugins I was getting the error that the plugin might be blocked and I should go to the plugin, right click > properties > select 'unblock'.

However, it would immediately block the file again.  I did a quick search and found a solution.  When you download the .zip file, unblock the .zip file itself before unzipping and copying to the plugins folder.  This will unblock all files contained in the .zip

i find using 7-zip requires no extra steps and the files are always unblocked once unzipped

Winrar has this... but not really annoying anyways.

I generally just open zip files through windows explorer and I'm sure many others are the same and will encounter this problem.  Hence, topic.  Thanks for the other suggestions.

go to properties of the file, select security tab, and change the permission to full access for the current user. then you can unblock it, and it will not change back after that.

cheers,

alternatively if you are on windows open up a powershell terminal navigate to the appropriate directory and run the following command



get-childitem -Recurse | unblock-file

this will run through all the files in that folder and unblock them
