Install a WordPress plugin with FTP

Article Number: 1194 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Wed, Nov 18, 2020 at 9:42 PM

Some premium or custom WordPress plugins may require you to install them through FTP.

Connect to your hosting with FTP.
Navigate to the directory containing your WordPress site.
Upload your plugin to the /wp-content/plugins directory.
Your plugin should now display on the Plugins page within your WordPress Dashboard.

Note: If you do not have a way to unzip the file on the server, you will have to unzip the file locally and then upload the unzipped directory of files.
