MyBB Community Forums

Hi
i'm a newbie to mybb i love this board
i have a question when uploading a new plugin do i have to upload it to the :

root/inc/plugins/

or

root/upload/inc/plugins/

and what's the difference between the please

thank you

root/inc/plugins is the main folder for the plugin files

looks like your forum files are based at public_html/bb/ (where global.php, index.php, xmlhttp.php, ... exist)
that public_html/bb/ folder is the root folder of your MyBB forum.
/bb/inc/plugins should be the main folder for the plugins

Short precision: the root/upload/ directory doesn't exist in MyBB, the root/uploads/ exists.

You have to make the difference between:
- upload/ directory in a plugin archive : it often contains the mybb structure and you must upload it contents (not the directory itself) to your MyBB root,
- uploads/ directory in MyBB is where files from users (avatars, attachments, ...) are uploaded.
