Manual installation of a WordPress plugin requires FTP familiarity and the awareness that you may put your site at risk if you install a WordPress plugin that is incompatible with the current version or from an unreliable source.
STEP-1:
Download your WordPress plugin to your desktop.
STEP-2:
If downloaded as a zip archive, extract the plugin folder to your desktop. This is very important as files must be extracted in order to be uploaded properly to the wp-content/plugins folder.
STEP-3:
Read through the Details readme file thoroughly to ensure you follow the installation instructions.
STEP-4:
With your FTP program, upload the plugin folder to the wp-content/plugins folder in your WordPress directory.
STEP-5:
Go to Plugins and find the newly uploaded plugin in the list.
STEP-6:
Click Activate Plugin to activate it.
As always, be sure to check the readme file for customization instructions and further information.
