How to install WordPress Plugin Manually

To add a plugin to your WordPress website via FTP

• Download the desired plugin as a .zip file from either the WordPress directory or a third-party source.
• Extract (or unzip) the plugin file. The unzipped folder will appear with the same name as the .zip file.
• Next, you’ll need to connect to your WordPress website’s server with FTP. To do this, you can use an FTP client that connects to the host server to transfer files.
• Once you open the FTP client, connect to your website with a username and password. You might need to obtain these credentials from your hosting provider.
• In your WordPress file directory, open the wp-content folder, then open the plugins folder.
• Upload the unzipped plugin folder that you downloaded to the plugins folder.
• Return to your WordPress dashboard and select Plugins > Installed Plugins. Find your new plugin and click Activate.
