Instructions received for installation incorrect

  • There is a slight issue with the instructions given to your customers for installation of this plugin. A WordPress maintainer with a few hours on the clock will get it right, but still, the error is there and very confusing for the absolute beginner.

    Steps to install SmartCode using VWO WordPress plugin

    1. <u>Download the plugin from here</u> or search for the VWO plugin in the WordPress directory.
    2. Follow the plugin installation steps: either it is automatic or you need to extract the .zip file and transfer the files to your blog’s /wp-admin/plugins/directory.

    not only is the missing space before directory misleading, more importantly, the correct folder is wp-content/plugins, not wp-admin/plugins.

    Again, people who have worked with WordPress before will understand, but an absolute beginner might be puzzled.

    Now I do not know how, when or wherefrom this information is sent, but I got this forwarded from a client and noticed the issue and hope to have been of service reporting it.

    Kind regards. Remon.
