OK, so I got this WordPress website I made recently and have a [URL="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cpaleadcom-wordpress-plugin/installation/"]plugin [/URL]I want to install but I'm not entirely sure where to install it and how. It says [code] Upload cpalead/ directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory[/code] The file I downloaded is a .rar with a .php file. [editline]09:08PM[/editline] Where is this directory and how do I upload it?
It says, /wp-content/plugins/......
Have you tried using Wordoress's own plugin installation system? It's [b]way[/b] easier than this
1. Upload `cpalead/` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the CPALead plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. Goto Settings - CPALead Gateway Options 4. Enter the name of the page where you want the gateway displayed, chose whether it is a post or page, and paste your My Gateway code into the box.

Log into FTP and goto, /public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins Thats what it is on my server.

[QUOTE=Marlamin;23232828]/wp-admin/ dashboard -> Plugins -> Add new -> search for the plugins name -> click install -> enter FTP login -> wait -> activate plugin -> winnar[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's where I think the problem is, Plugins is not in my dashboard. Is there a way to enable it?
