WordPress Plugin Installation

    There are three (3) ways to install AuRise Accessibility Checker: automatically, via upload, or manually.

    1. Automatic Installation

    Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t need to leave your own WordPress website.

    1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
    2. Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
    3. Where it says “Keyword” in a dropdown, change it to “Author”
    4. 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)
    5. Once you’ve found AuRise Accessibility Checker in the search results that appear, click the Install Now button and wait for the installation process to complete.
    6. Once the installation process is completed, click the Activate button to activate AuRise Accessibility Checker.

    2: Install 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.

    1. Download AuRise Accessibility Checker from WordPress.org; it will be in the form of a zip file.
    2. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
    3. Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
    4. Click the Upload Plugin button at the top of the screen.
    5. Select the zip file from your local file system that was downloaded in step 1.
    6. Click the Install Now button and wait for the installation process to complete.
    7. Once the installation process is completed, click the Activate button to activate AuRise Accessibility Checker.

    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.

    1. Download AuRise Accessibility Checker from WordPress.org; it will be in the form of a zip file.
    2. Unzip the contents; you should have a single folder named after the plugin.
    3. Connect to your WordPress server with your favorite SFTP client (mine is Beyond Compare).
    4. Copy folder from step 2 to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder in your WordPress directory. Once the folder and all of its files are there, installation is complete.
    5. Now log in to your WordPress dashboard.
    6. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins. You should now see AuRise Accessibility Checker in your list.
    7. Click the Activate button under its name to activate it.
