This article will walk you through the process of installing one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Once you have downloaded the add-on you want, unzip the file locally. Inside it, you will see an upload directory, just like when XenForo was installed. You&#8217;ll be uploading the contents of this directory, meaning all of the folders and files within the upload directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Connect to your forum using FTP and navigate to the XenForo root directory on the server. Here you will upload the contents of the upload directory. Ensure that you &#8220;merge&#8221; with the existing contents on the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Once the files are uploaded, go to the Add-ons section in the XenForo control panel. The add-on you just uploaded should be listed as installable or upgradeable. Click the Install button and follow the on-screen instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostduplex.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-26-at-4.17.01-PM-2-1-1024x465.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostduplex.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-26-at-4.17.01-PM-2-1-1024x465.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostduplex.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-26-at-4.17.01-PM-2-1-300x136.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostduplex.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-26-at-4.17.01-PM-2-1-768x349.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hostduplex.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-26-at-4.17.01-PM-2-1-50x23.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/www.hostduplex.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-26-at-4.17.01-PM-2-1-60x27.jpeg 60w, https:\/\/www.hostduplex.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-26-at-4.17.01-PM-2-1-100x45.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.hostduplex.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-10-26-at-4.17.01-PM-2-1.jpeg 1236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-purple-background-color has-purple-color is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are a Host Duplex customer and still have questions, please open a ticket in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/secure.hostduplex.com\/clientarea.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Host Duplex client portal.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XenForo add-ons can give your forum extra functionalities or enhance existing ones without requiring to do any coding.
