The plugin files won’t upload – What should I do?

If you’re having trouble uploading your plugin through Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, don’t worry—this is usually an easy fix. Here’s what to check:

1. Make Sure You’re Uploading the Correct File

You should upload the original .zip file that you downloaded from your Nahnu Plugins account.

❌ Do not extract the .zip file before uploading.
✅ Upload the full .zip archive as it is.

2. Check Server Space

Make sure your server or hosting account has enough available storage. A full disk can prevent uploads of any kind.

3. Check File Permissions

If you see a permissions error, it means WordPress doesn’t have permission to upload plugins on your site.

You’ll need to:

Contact your hosting provider or server administrator
Ask them to verify that your WordPress installation has permission to upload files in the /wp-content/plugins directory

4. Install the Plugin Manually (Alternative Option)

If the WordPress uploader isn’t working, you can install the plugin manually via FTP.

Follow the official guide here:
📘 Manual Plugin Installation – WordPress.org

This method involves:

Extracting the .zip file on your computer
Uploading the plugin folder to your server’s /wp-content/plugins/ directory via FTP
Activating the plugin from your WordPress dashboard
