Install/Update via FTP

If the above methods are not working for you for some reason, you may install or update via FTP.  This is a little more difficult, so we definitely recommend using the above methods first.

  1. Get a good FTP client, such as FileZilla.
  2. Connect to your site using your FTP credentials.  You will see a list of folders.
  3. Download the plugin from here in your local pc.
  4. Navigate to your “/wp-content/plugins/” folder in FTP client.
  5. Extract the folder in local pc from the “zip” file you obtained from here or your liveforms.org account (IMPORTANT: DO NOT just upload the zip file, you MUST extract it first using this method.  You should be copying a single folder into this directory names “liveforms”)
  6. Copy the newly extracted folder in your local pc to your “/wp-content/plugins/” folder with the FTP client, so that you see only the folder name in the directory.
  7. On your site, go to Dashboard -> Plugins and find the plugin name appear in the list.
  8. Click activate and you are ready to work with the form you’ve just installed.

 

You are now good to go.
