Manual Plugin Installation

In rare cases, you may need to install a plugin by manually transferring the files onto the server. This is recommended only when absolutely necessary, for example when your server is not configured to allow automatic installations.

This procedure requires you to be familiar with the process of transferring files using an SFTP client. It is recommended for advanced users and developers.

1. Download the plugin file to your computer and unzip pimp-my-site.zip.
2. Using an FTP program, or your hosting control panel, upload the unzipped plugin folder to your WordPress installation’s wp-content/plugins/ directory.
3. Log in to your WordPress dashboard, and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
4. Find Pimp my Site in the list, and click “Activate”.

Updating

We recommend the use of the Envato Market Plugin to update Pimp my Site when an update is available.

Alternatively, you can manually download the updated version and follow the installation instructions above to replace the old version with the new version.
