I am just getting started at learning how to add plugins to mybb forums.

I've done quite a bit of searching, and in every tutorial I've read, it says to upload to inc/plugins after downloading the plugin. Once in the CP, how do I upload to inc/plugins?

I just can't seem find where/how to upload to inc/plugins.

Note: This is the plugin I'm trying to install: http://mods.mybb.com/view/profile-comments

Thanks! Smile
You need to use a FTP client to upload the files. You have to connect to your file server.

You can use this plugin:

http://mods.mybb.com/view/plugin-uploader

That plugin will allow you to upload plugins via the Admin CP; but you still need to use an FTP client to upload the plugin uploader plugin first.
I downloaded Filezilla. Now I am just confused on how it works and how it gets from my computer to the server. I found video tutorials on youtube, but I have a Mac and all the tutorials are done on Windows computers- it appears different on my computer. Now, how do I install the actual plugin?

Thanks for the reply Smile
Use the ftp client that you used to upload MyBB and just upload the files to the./inc/plugins

To install the plugin after you have uploaded it go to Your Admin Control Panel -> Configuration -> Plugins

You have to find your FTP details at your hosting, once you've found that fill your FTP details into FileZilla.
How did you install the forum in the first place?
