I also have to say THANKS for this. It is at the very least hilarious. I don't have any issues that require it but I set up a test account and let some folks try it after a normal login to verify that everything was running ok

The usual reply is a disgusted "Oh my GOD":devious: :banana:

This is the first time I ever uploaded a plugin, so I am probably doing it wrong.
This is what I am doing.
Admin control panel>plug in system>download/upload plugins>browse to the file on my PC,select it> import.
then I get this messege.

XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 1

Sorry for butting on ... but since I have upgraded to ver 3_5_4, I am having similar issues with adding plugins. I have requested help from the member support area.

Right now the only way I can add plugins is to : manually add them or upload the xml file to the includes/xml folder and import from there.

In regards to the upgrade to new version... I did a complete upgrade to my live board and clean new install on my test board and both are having problems with the import of plugins.

When I find out anything knew I will post.

I upgraded to 3.5.4 last week, but like I said, this is the first time I ever tried to upload a plugin so I am not sure how to do it.
I can try uploading it to my xml file and see if that works.

It's a product, not plugin - import it via the 'manage' products area

I just tried that.
Manage products>add/import product>browse and selected the files from my PC> Import.
I got the same messege.

XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 1

Should I up load the files to my xml files on my server?

I up loaded the files to my server and imported them, but I am still getting the same message.

I suggest you re-download and unzip the XML file because it looks like you have corrupted it somehow.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

That did the trick, Thanks paul!
