ok thanks.

It doesn't seem to be showing up on the list as I was checking the tutorial.

To make sure is in var > www > html > install folder right.

You should be uploading the contents of the upload folder in the add-on archive to wherever XF is installed on the server - if it is in the domain root then that will typically be the public html directory.

the thing is that it doesn't seem to have a public_html but just html folder. This is a bit of struggling. lol

Create yourself a hello world html file , save it and call it hello,html

Upload it to the html folder.

goto your url and add on /hello.html

eg

www.mydomain.com/hello.html

If the page displays , you have it right. if not move it somewhere else

Delete the hello.html.

Find the plugin you are interested in.
Download it
expand the zip
Some are structured like
¦readme.txt
¦upload
¦¦ sub folders of upload
¦install.xml

You only need to upload the subfolders of the uploads. There will be onces like SRC ( If XF2 )

Goto your admin panel , it should be there then

As I see hello world works as in display showed when I added html hello world. Question is add-ons which not sure where to add those I only see one upload folder but do I need to make a sub upload folder. I tried adding it to the library and install folder but no luck or maybe I am having a little bit of difficulty.

Excellent , then you have the correct folder.

You need to upload the content of your extracted zip the relevant folders.

What version of xenforo are you using?

You need to upload the the add-on folder to the 'src/addons' folder. For example all my add-ons are in a folder called 'Andy' so it looks like this on the server:

I founded that and added my own folder in there but it seems like not showing up for some reason.

You don’t add a folder unless the developer puts all his addons into a specific folder. In my case the folder is called ‘Andy’ and my addons go there.

If using Filezilla client then this is what you need to do. Navigate to the src folder on your pc and then navigate to the public html folder on the server side and then wherever your forum is actually installed to, ours is forum. You'll notice you will see the src folder on both sides now. Then highlight both items on the left and click on upload. You may need to click on overwrite when asked.
