No, you have to put Wordpress on another hosting site to use plugins.
Hi I cannot connect using filezilla. Where do I get the host name and the username and password.
Shame on you “newlifetrib9412″ this is a great little video. I just wrote a blog post about installing a back up plugin for my subscribers and popped on here to get a simple video explaining the process. This is exactly what I wanted. It is only for hosted I believe.
Well done good simple video doing what it says on the tin.
Thanks for that! Very simple and clear instructions for a know-nothing like me!
The public_html folder is just where web content is placed on this server – it may be difference on yours. I’ve never seen a plugin fail to appear – are the permissions on the plugin you uploaded correct?
I’m using the Filezilla FTP server as well, and I’ve been able to upload themes. But I’m having a real problem uploading plugins. I watched your video and I don’t have a “public html” folder. Instead I uploaded a plugin from my hard drive to my wp-contents/plugins folder, but it still won’t show up under my plugins in the back office of my blog. Any suggestions?
I’m not sure what you mean. I created the video as many of my users wanted me to show them how to use FileZilla to upload a plugin for their WordPress installation.
what in the world,this has nothing to do with wordpress. Yes I know you can do it with wordpress this way but it was just a scam to get people to watch your video.SHAME
does this work for free wordpress blogs??? thanks
Thank you so much it works brill on mine your the best
