    That’s where you need to upload the plugin. Upload the zipped plugin file here, then extract it’s folder content but right clicking and clicking on EXTRACT (most cPanel File Manager have this function).
    Next step is you have to Login to your WordPress Dashboard. On the Left Task Pane, Locate and click on Installed below the Plugins Heading.
    The name of the Newly uploaded plugin would appear in this list. Simply click on Activate Next to the name, and viola it’s been successfully installed.
