وضاحت

There are three (3) ways to install my plugin: automatically, upload, or manually.
Install Method 1: Automatic Installation
Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t need to leave your web browser.
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
- Where it says “Keyword” in a dropdown, change it to “Author”
- In the search form, type
TessaWatkinsLLC
(results may begin populating as you type but my plugins will only show when the full name is there) - Once you’ve found my plugin in the search results that appear, click the Install Now button and wait for the installation process to complete.
- Once the installation process is completed, click the Activate button to activate it.
Install Method 2: Upload via WordPress Admin
This method involves is a little more involved. You don’t need to leave your web browser, but you’ll need to download and then upload the files yourself.

- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
- Click the Upload Plugin button at the top of the screen.

Install Method 3: Manual Installation
This method is the most involved as it requires you to be familiar with the process of transferring files using an SFTP client.

aurise-accessibility-checker
. - Connect to your WordPress server with your favorite SFTP client.

/wp-content/plugins/
folder in your WordPress directory. Once the folder and all of its files are there, installation is complete. - Now log in to your WordPress dashboard.
