Installing a WordPress Plugin

To add a WordPress Plugin using the built-in plugin installer:

  1. Go to Plugins > Add New.
  2. Click Upload.
  3. Select the plugin zip file from your computer.
  4. A popup window will ask you to confirm your wish to install the Plugin.
  5. If this is the first time you’ve installed a WordPress Plugin, you may need to enter the FTP login credential information. If you’ve installed a Plugin before, it will still have the login information. This information is available through your web server host.
  6. Click Proceed to continue with the installation. The resulting installation screen will list the installation as successful or note any problems during the install.
  7. If successful, click Activate Plugin to activate it, or Return to Plugin Installer for further actions.
