Plugin not available : point sampling tool

Question

I installed the QGIS Standalone Installer Version 2.14 (64bit). I created a map in the program called QGIS Desktop 2.14.3 with GRASS 7.0.4.

I need one tool from Plugin : Point sampling tool. The problem is that I cannot find it anywhere:

When I check the Plugin settings, I can see that:

I am using Windows 7 enterprise 64bit.

Why the repository is unavailable? Is that the problem? How can I solve it?

I checked also the proxy:

Does anyone have the solution?

Try to download QGIS LTR 2.8.9, and see if the Long term release can solve the problem. — ahmadhanb, Jun 13, 2016 at 9:27

If you can't connect to the online repository, download the plugin manually:

Access the Point sampling tool plugin from the repository.
Click the version required:
Click the Download button:
Extract the plugin folder from the zip file and copy/move it to your .qgis2 directory (e.g. C:\Users\You\.qgis2\python\plugins
Restart/load QGIS and it should appear as an installed plugin in your Manage and Install Plugins... interface.

Note that you can do this for other plugins aswell.

OK. No problem till the point 4. I don't have a plugins folder in the .qgis2 folder. When I go here: C:\Users\Me\.qgis2\python, the only folder I can see is: expressions which contains two init files..

@Janita - Try creating a new folder called "plugins" and insert the plugin folder inside.
