    All WordPress Plugins install in two ways. Automatic and manual.

    To automatically install a WordPress Plugin, you must have the following FTP access information ready.

    Server Hostname for FTP access
    FTP Username (not the same as your WordPress password)
    FTP Password
    Connection Type (FTP, FTPS (SSL) )
    Go to Plugins > Add New and enter the name or search term to find the WordPress Plugin you wish to add.

    To view information about the Plugin, installation help, applicable WordPress versions, etc., click Details under the Plugin name.

    To install the Plugin, click Install under the Plugin name.

    When WordPress asks, enter the above access information and proceed.

    If the WordPress Plugin installs correctly, the resulting screen will notify you that the Plugin is installed and awaiting activation. If you wish to activate it, click Activate. If you wish to delay, leave the page.

    If the WordPress Plugin does not install correctly or fails to install, WordPress will notify you. If you wish to try the WordPress Plugin anyway, you can use the manual installation method.

    If a WordPress Plugin fails to install correctly with the automatic method, be aware that there might be an issue with the Plugin and your version of WordPress, your server access, or other compatibility issues. Check the Detail page and author site to see if others have had problems with the Plugin before continuing.

    To install the WordPress Plugin manually:

    Download the latest version of the WordPress Plugin to your computer.
    With an FTP program, access your site’s server.
    Upload (copy) the Plugin file(s) or folder to the /wp-content/plugins folder.
    In your WordPress Administration Panels, click on Plugins from the menu at the top.
    You should see your new Plugin listed. If not, with your FTP program, check the folder to see if it is installed. If it isn’t, upload the file(s) again. If it is, delete the files and upload them again.
    To turn the WordPress Plugin on, click Activate on the far right side of the list.
    Check your Administration Panels or WordPress blog to see if the Plugin is working.
