Hello thanks for picking MyBB for your fourm host!
see Installing Plugins guidance & see also this reply
basically plugin files are to be added to inc/plugins folder of MyBB files server.
if plugin consists of single php file then that is the simple method. but plugin might
consist of several files. in that case we have to follow folder structure of plugin pack.
this can be confusing at sometimes as plugin coders may not follow unified method to
pack their plugin files. readme file if exists with plugin can consist of the instructions
if plugin files are located in a folder named Upload then its contents should be transferred
by following the folder structure. that Upload folder itself should not be transferred.
after adding the plugin files you have to visit admin panel >> configuration >> plugins
page to install & activate newly added plugin. then proceed to configuration >> settings
page to find the settings related to newly added plugin and setup the plugin settings.
youtube has some videos to help (you can search for MyBB plugins installation)
Note: Plugin Uploader can be also used to install other plugins.
however it needs to be installed first (manually) and later it can be used to add other plugins.
For installing themes please read : https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/administration/themes/
