Installing helpmate plugin is as easy as making a cup of coffee—no special skills required. If you’ve installed a WordPress plugin before, you’re already a pro. But just in case, here’s the step-by-step:
Method 1: Install via WordPress Admin (the quick and easy way) #
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Plugins → Add New.
- Click the Upload Plugin button at the top.
- Choose the plugin
.zipfile from your computer. - Click Install Now and wait for WordPress to do its magic.
- Once installed, hit that shiny Activate button.
Boom! The plugin is now active and ready to roll.
Method 2: Install via FTP (for the old-school tech wizards) #
- Extract the plugin
.zipfile on your computer. - Connect to your site using an FTP client (like FileZilla).
- Upload the extracted plugin folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Go to Plugins, find the plugin in the list, and click Activate.
Still easy. Just with a little more flair.
