MyBB Community Forums

I have downloaded to my pc a plugin, but can not find how to install it, i have read other peoples comments, but i have no plugin manager in my admin cp.

See this how to install a plugin: http://docs.mybb.com/Plugins.html#Installing_Plugins

I have no plugin manager listed

Plugin Manager means the page where plugins are listed.

Ah right, but how do I get the plugin I have downloaded on to my pc, in to that section, so I can install it and activate it.

Am thick me lol:

I had to get the web host to install my forum for me, as I messed it up so many times.

To install the plugin, you've to upload it first. Keeping the folder's structure intact, upload the files in proper folders.

See pic, i have this file pic1, pic2 is whats in this file, which folder in the ftp server do i upload it to, and do i upload the whole folder as see pic1.

Sorry for so many questions

Upload both folders to the ROOT of your forum. All files inside these will go in proper locations themselves.

and which folder would root be in, see pic of ftp panel

I assume httpdocs is the directory where you have to upload it.

You can simple check on that:
Open the httpdocs folder an look if the following files are there

• index.php
  
• newthread.php
  
• modcp.php
  

those are 3 files randomly chosen from the mybb package... but if they are there, the rest of the Forum should be also
