Installing stats.php

  • I’m having trouble installing my first plugin…

    each time I try to upload stats.php I get this message;

    “File type does not meet security guidelines. Try another. Back to Image Uploading”

    What am I doing wrong? I’ve never had a blog before so I’m a bit confused.

    Thanks Alex

  • “security guidelines” … “Image Uploading” …

    Well, is it not supposed to only allow uploading of images? It would be very very dangerous to allow editors and such upload some random code to the system. That is why you have the webhotels ADMIN PANEL or the terminal window + secure ftp server, SSH + SFTP.

    Now go to that admin panel (it’s probably at http[s]://yourdomain.com:xxxx, where xxxx is some number), log in, locate the file manager / upload tool, upload the file, change the permissions to something like “r-xr-x—” or 550.

    Thanks, but where do I get the numbers that represent the xxxxx’s?

    LostInNetwork is telling you to log into your control panel for you hosting provider, not the wordpress dashboard but the admin panel where you created the database and admin the site. It’s most likely cpanel or something like that.
