How to FTP the plugin to your website

Here we will show you how to manually upload the plugin to the correct folder of your website.

Navigate to where you now have your folder unzipped.

Click on the "plugins" folder (1).

Here is the folder that must be uploaded to your website

You will see the folder "review-site" (1). This is your plugin folder that you need to upload to your website.

Now you need to fire up your FTP program

Here we use and recomend Filezilla, a free FTP program that you can download from here. Don't worry, that link will open in a new window, so that you won't lose your place in this manual. On the left side of the screen are the files on your computer, and on the right side of the screen are the files on your website. Before uploading any file, make sure that you have navigated to the correct folder on your computer, and the correct folder on your website. You will need to enter your site URL (1), your FTP user name (2), and your FTP password (3), in order for Filezilla to be able to connect to your website. There are 2 navigation bars. The left one (4) should show the folder where you unzipped your download, in the previous step. The right navigation bar (5), should show your public_html folder of your website. If all this is correct, then you will need to click on the wp-content (6) folder of your website.

You should now see "plugins" folders on both sides of your FTP screen

If you can see the "plugins" folders on both side - Great work! Now double click on the "plugins" folder on your left (1), and double click on the "plugins" folder on your right (2).

You are nearly ready to upload your plugin

You should now be in the "plugins" folder on your computer (1), and the "plugins" folder of your website (2) - if so, we can now proceed to upload your plugin! You should see the "review-site" folder on your computer (3)

Now upload your plugin

Right click on the "review-site" folder (1), and a window will open - select upload, and the upload process will begin.

If you are upgrading, and the file "review-site" already exists on your website, you will be asked what to do

If this applies to you, tick the box next to "Apply to current queue only' (1), and then click the "OK" button (2). Congratulations - you have now uploaded your plugin! Now proceed to the next step - activate your plugin.
