Plugins unavailable in IntelliJ IDEA Marketplace: Configuration issue

Problem

Plugins are not visible in the Marketplace tab of the plugin settings in IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1.1.1 (Community Edition).

Cause

The idea.properties file may contain the following entry:

idea.plugins.host=https://no.host

This configuration prevents the IDE from correctly accessing the JetBrains plugins repository, as it redirects requests to the incorrect URL https://no.host.

Solution 1

1. Open IntelliJ IDEA.

2. Navigate to Help | Edit Custom Properties.

3. Locate the following line in the idea.properties file:

   idea.plugins.host=https://no.host
   

4. Comment out or delete this line.

   Example:

   # idea.plugins.host=https://no.host
   

5. Restart IntelliJ IDEA to apply the changes.

6. Open the plugins Marketplace tab to verify that plugins are properly listed.

⚠️ Other solutions

• Go to Settings | Plugins | ⚙ | Manage Plugin Repositories and make sure there is no idea.plugin.hosts property there (documentation)
• Enable debug logging for the com.intellij.ide.plugins.marketplace category and inspect logs for proxy/network failures: Help | Show Log in... If needed, adjust proxy settings in the IDE.
• As a fallback, plugins can be downloaded manually from the Marketplace and installed from disk.
