WordPress Plugin Installation Guide Video
Installing a WordPress plugin is very easy once you learn the basics and the steps involved. After you install the plugin showed in this WordPress guide video you may never need to use an FTP client to upload WordPress plugins and WordPress themes again.
The steps outlined in this video are for installing a plugin that requires its whole folder or directory to be uploaded to your hosting account. Usually uploading an entire folder is required when there are mutiple files associated with the plugin. Some plugins only require a single file to be uploaded while some may require other files to be uploaded into other directories. Always read the instructions supplied with the plugin to eliminate any issues.
The steps outlined in the video are as follows:
- Download the plugin
- Extract or unzip the compress file
- Read the installation instructions
- Connect to your hosting account with an FTP client
- Upload the plugin
- Activate the plugin from the WordPress dashboard

Lisa, Your blog is hosted on WordPress.com and sorry, I can’t help you with. This site is focused on blogs that are self-hosted WordPress blogs on their own domain, I suggest that you try the WordPress.com forum for help.
WordPress.com hosted sites have restrictions on them that I am not a fan, nor am I well versed in.
