Adding plugins via FTP

Adding media via FTP

Install Add From Server plugin

  • Download this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/add-from-server/
  • Unzip it using 7-Zip
  • Upload the unzipped folder via FTP to your wordpress/wp-content/plugins folder
  • Make the folder and all sub-folder writable and executable by all
  • Make sure that you only have one sub-folder, so for example the plugin should be stored in wordpress/wp-content/plugins/add-from-server, NOT wordpress/wp-content/plugins/add-from-server/add-from-server
  • Go to your website's dashboard, plugins section. The "Add From Server" plugin should now be listed. Activate it.

  1. Create a new folder for your media (on the server), for example wordpress/wp-content/media

  4. Make sure that the file above has read permissions for everyone
  5. Go to your dashboard, plugins section, and click on "Import files" under the "Add From Server" entry.
