Total Newbie trying to install plugin - stevengraff - 2014-01-26
Brand new owner of a MyBB forum, but I can't figure out how to install a plugin, in this case, the CKEditor.
The instructions at http://docs.mybb.com/Plugins.html explain what to do with the single file... but where should I put the rest of the plugin's files?

Most likely copy all the files to the root of your website.
Lets say there is a "inc" folder inside the plugin rar. Just drag it into your fps to the root of your website.
In case of the CKEditor plugin, same thing, upload all the files to the root of your website.
Then login to your ACP and go to home -> plugins -> Install & activate CKEditor

Thank you Mike; I was probably over-thinking it. Now I see "parallel" directory structures in the plugin package, and I assume these will merge properly with what's already in place. I'm uploading it now.

Yes Its that simple
Follow the folder thats inside the pluginrar and upload it.Cheers.
