You should upload it using FTP manager. Some issues why you’re facing the problem: 1.) The size of the plugins exceed the 10 MB limit size. 2.) Corrupted plugins. ---

To upload/download a plugin manually using FTP manager, this can help you to activate and upload a plugin on wordpress > To do so, the first step is to download the plugin or theme zip file to your computer. If you got the plugin from a third party source, you probably already have this file. If you installed it directly from WordPress, you can find and download your plugin from the official WordPress [plugin store](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or [theme store](https://wordpress.org/themes/) > > Next, you’ll need to upload the files to your account. > > To upload the plugin or theme with FTP: > > 1. Extract the zip file on your computer. It should contain a single folder with files. > 2. Setup a connection with your FTP client of choice. [Learn more about how to setup an FTP connection](https://support.infinityfree.net/files/how-to-upload-files-with-ftp/). > 3. Navigate to your WordPress plugins or themes folder. This is typically `htdocs/wp-content/plugins` for your first domain, and `example.com/htdocs/wp-content/plugins` for addon domains and subdomains. For themes, it’s the > 4. Copy the extracted folder to the website directory. Depending on the size of the plugin or theme, this can take some time complete. > 5. After the file transfer has been completed, login to your WordPress admin area. From there, you can navigate to the Plugins or Themes interface and hit Activate on what you’ve just uploaded. > > You can attempt to upload the archive through our online file manager, but this may not work depending on the size of the plugin or theme. Using a desktop FTP client like FileZilla is recommended, because it works with plugins and themes of all sizes. ---
