    Hi-

    I’m trying to install the Yoast SEO plugin to my site but in the admin section do not see “plugins” options at all?

    Any ideas of how I can add the plugin?

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Are you on wordpress.com or www.ads-software.com?

    Hey

    In your dashboard on the left you should see the following

    Post
    Media
    Pages
    Comments
    Forms
    Appearance
    Plugins

    Hover over plugins with your mouse then you should see

    Plugins>Installed plugins
    >Add new
    >Editor

    Click add new

    Then to the right of the page you should see a search box, just type yoast in it and hit enter

    In the top right corner of the plugin you want to install there should be a install button, click install
    then you should get the following message

    Installing Plugin: Yoast SEO 2.3.5
    Downloading install package from https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/wordpress-seo.2.3.5.zip…

    Unpacking the package…

    Installing the plugin…

    Successfully installed the plugin Yoast SEO 2.3.5.

    Activate Plugin | Return to Plugin Installer

    Click activate and that’s it finished

    <<< Make sure you read the yoast instructions/documentation and pay attention, this can negatively affect your seo of your site if you put the wrong content in there

    Happy days:)
