    Hi friends,

    I want to install a .php file to my wp-content/plugins/ directory on the server. Can anyone guide me please, how to do that ? I am a bit confused on doing it on my hostgator server or it can be done in the wordpress itself ?

    You can do it a number of ways.

    Through your cpanel "File Manager"

    By FTP , I use Filezilla it's free.

    Or from your Wordpress dashboard if it's a .zip file. Go to Plugins, select Upload and then browse to the right file. There's plenty of free software that will convert it to a zip file if it's not already in that format.
