Nathaniel: Hi! My name is Nathaniel and this is Two
Minute Tips with One More Cup of Coffee.
Today, we're gonna take a look at how to install themes and plug-ins manually on WordPress.
So to do that, we're going to need to download something called FileZilla.
You can find that at FileZilla project dot org.
Download the FileZilla client.
Once you have your FTP log in credentials that you can get from your host, you can
log in to the website where you want to install the theme or plug-in.
We're going to be looking for WP content
and either plug-ins or themes. First, we gonna install a theme, okay.
So once you're at theme folders listed here, so I have it clicked up here, so all
the themes are listed in here.
We'll leave that like that, then we all need to navigate to our folder where the
theme we want to upload is located. I know that's in my downloads folder.
Okay, once we've opened our downloads folder, we need to find the unpacked
version of the theme. It will probably come zipped up but
you'll need to unpack it so that you can see the file and we here go.
My theme is called the source,
we're gonna right click that, now we're gonna click upload.
And you can see the cute files down there and the successful files next to that.
We'll just wait for that to finish uploading.
Once that is done, we just need to go to our website.
Go to our themes area and you can see the theme has now been installed and if wanna
activate it, we just activate it.
And it's pretty much the same process for the plug-ins.
So I'm gonna find a plug-in that I look to install called Twitter, Facebook Social Share.
Okay, once that's downloaded, we are going to extract it then we are going to
navigate to plug-ins here, that's gonna open up our plug-in setup here.
Okay, once we find the folder, then all we do again is right click upload.
Once that's done uploading, we can go back to our website.
Go to plug-ins, install the plug-ins
and it will be there, not activated.
So all we have to do is activate it and it will be ready to go.
So I hope you found this tip useful.
