# ERR\_PLUGIN\_WRONG\_TYPE: Unexpected type of plugin[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/troubleshooting/errors/ERR_PLUGIN_WRONG_TYPE.html#err-plugin-wrong-type-unexpected-type-of-plugin "Permalink to this headline")

An operation in the plugin development tools of DSS has targeted a plugin that is not in dev (add file, edit file, …)

## Remediation[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/troubleshooting/errors/ERR_PLUGIN_WRONG_TYPE.html#remediation "Permalink to this headline")

This issue can only be fixed by a DSS administrator.

The plugin was probably installed on the instance as a final version, and now exists in the plugins/installed folder of the DSS data directory. If development needs to continue on the plugin, the version in plugins/installed needs to be removed.
