can i know how to install wordpress plugin? i heard that we need to use filezilla. i've downloaded it, but i dont know what to fill inside the 'host' column. pls help
In the 'host' column you need to put the address of your server (ftp address). usually something like ftp.domainname.com.
sorry but i still dont understand. my blog link is karyanisme.wordpress.com is the ftp address frm there?
if ur site name is 123.com then ur ftp host will be as : ftp.123.com and ur user name , passwrod will be same as u use to login into ur cp. In port enter 21 > connect Go to ur root dir > then where ur blog is installed, public_html > ur blog dir > wp-content > plugins > upload ur plugin in this dir. Then goto wp dashboard > plugins > activate the plugin.
which means if my link is karyanisme.wordpress.com , so my ftp is karyanisme? i've tried, but i read this "error: could not connect to server"
The way I learned was Youtube. Someone can write my directions all day but when I saw it being done it just clicked. Try it!
You will not be able to use plugins on a wordpress hosted blog. Eg when your url is *.wordpress.com then it is surely hosted by wordpress and wordpress does not allow custom plugins , even though they have some inbuilt plugins for blogs hosted on them like sitemap etc
yes. you cant use plugins on wordpress hosted blog. i would suggest shift to your hosting blog. pretty easy and straight-forward i would say.
it is easy to upload the plugins steps: 1)upload the whole folder of your theme/plugin to your desired directory 2)then login in wordpress and go to plugins there you will see the plugin which you uploaded just activate it and you are done Visit www.techonova.com for latest IT NEWS
karyan...if you are really serious about your site you need to go to for your own site and host it where you can get a wordpress blog for free. There are plenty of free hosting provider in internet and you can get a free domain too.... just go to co.cc, there you will be able to get two free domains forever. Then you will be able to get the plugins you need not the one that comes with wordpress.com
You absolutely must have your own hosting if you intend to be serious about this business Just look at some other WP sites like mine and you'll see for yourself the need for your own hosting as well as how easy it is to install plugins. Holla back if you need more info...
You're indeed. It's a little steep learning process. After you registered usually they will give you the cpanel / plesk access. Then - you might ask how to use cpanel / plesk? The best thing is you approach someone in your town that can physically teach you how to setup a website.
