From your WordPress plugin page you need to browse and select the unzipped file that you downloaded to your computer. If you unzip it on your computer and try to select the folder that will not work.
Hi again. I am just another participant user, but yes, that worked for me.
From the WordPress Plugin Page
– click the add new button, then
– click the upload plugin button at the top of the page
Above the Browse button you will see the text “If you have a plugin in a .zip format, you may install it by uploading it here.”
– just click the browse button, and select the UpdraftPlus Zip file
– lastly, click the install button
