Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

Answer 1

Please remove "magento/composer-root-update-plugin": "~1.1", from the <project_root>/composer.json file then run

composer update

composer require mageplaza/module-core

This should solve the problem!
