XF 2.0 installing add ons

[Jimmy19]

Hi,

Can you explain to me where you install in the add ons? I can't get my add on to show up in the panel for installation.

Let's say my my forum is: public_html/forum

Do I just install all the files in this directory?

The manual should help: https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/manual/add-ons/

In general, you should upload the add-on files to the same directory where XF is installed.

public_html/forum

Typically you need to FTP the add-on directory to:

public_html/forum/src/addons/{developer name}

Typically you need to FTP the add-on directory to:

public_html/forum/src/addons/{developer name}

That is incorrect.

As the manual states:

Once you have downloaded the add-on you want, you should unzip the file locally. Inside it, you will see an upload directory, just like when XenForo was installed. You'll be uploading the contents of this directory.

Using your FTP client, navigate to the XenForo root directory on the server, and upload the contents of the upload directory into it. Ensure that you "merge" with the existing contents on the server.

Ok, well the add on must not be working with my version. I've tried many things and still can't get it to show up.

The usual cause of this is uploading to the wrong directory or uploading the upload folder rather than its contents.
