How to Install the Plugin with FTP or SFTP?
To install the Featured Image Plus Pro plugin, you can upload the plugin files to your server via FTP or SFTP using tools such as FileZilla or WinSCP. Follow the steps below for a seamless installation process:
- Download the Plugin: After purchasing the plugin, log in to your account on the plugin website and download the
featured-image-plus-pro.zipfile to your computer. - Unzip the Archive: Extract the downloaded zip file into a folder named
featured-image-plus-pro. This will contain all the necessary plugin files. If you’re unsure how to unzip files, refer to this guide. - Upload the Plugin Files: Using your preferred FTP or SFTP client (e.g., FileZilla or WinSCP), connect to your server and navigate to the
wp-content/pluginsdirectory. Upload the extractedfeatured-image-plus-profolder into this directory. Learn more about FTP in WordPress documentation. - Activate the Plugin: Once the upload is complete, log in to your WordPress Admin dashboard. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate Featured Image Plus Pro, and click Activate.
Important Notes:
- If you already have the free version of the plugin installed, you must either deactivate it manually or let it deactivate automatically during this process. WordPress does not allow both the free and pro versions of the plugin to be active simultaneously.
- After activation, you can access the plugin’s features from its main settings page in your WordPress Admin area.
By following these steps, you’ll ensure the plugin is correctly installed and ready to use on your WordPress site. Should you encounter any issues, refer to the WordPress troubleshooting guide or contact support for assistance.
