Hey there guys. Having trouble with uploading the SEO Plugin.
I’ve got it downloaded to my desktop as a folder. When it downloaded the folder was automatically titled “seo-blog”. I’m on a Mac so I did nothing to the folder.
I followed the directions on the site for uploading the plugin. But when I get to the upload button on WordPress it won’t pick up the folder. If I drag it in there it just shows me all the files within the folder.
I’m missing a step here, I know, but can’t really tell what it is.
I don’t really have an option to unzip the folder, and when it gets saved it doesn’t have a .zip extension so I’m not sure wordpress is picking it up correctly.
Help?

Try downloading again, and make sure you select Save File rather than Open File. It sounds like the file was automatically unzipped. You could alternatively just add the folder to a .zip file and upload it using WordPress’ plugin installer.
Great info. Very helpful
Many thanks,
Roger
