I hope i my explantion is simple and clear
Appreciate your help and sorry if i bothering u

That is not the way to work with Wordpress.
If you have working website files, just upload the files to /htdocs

i want to upload Rank math seo plugin manually to my /htdocs
Should i create plugin folder and put the plugin inside or What should i do and how to activate it or that’s not possbile

You should extract the plugin file locally then upload it to wp-content/plugins directory

I can’t move my website files to wordpress i will had to create it from the begining on wordpress and actually my friend he who created the website for me and he busy these days so even if i wanted to create a new website on wordpress i can’t

Rank Math SEO is WordPress plug-in. “Plug-in” means it’s designed to “plug in” to something, in this case WordPress. Without WordPress the plugin can’t plug in to anything, and it cannot be used.

So if you want to use that plugin, you need WordPress. You can either install it fresh or import an existing site, but no WordPress means no WordPress plug-ins.

If you have a WordPress site you want to use, you’ll need to use WordPress. Or you need to untangle your site from WordPress, but that’s much more complicated than what you’ve been doing until now. And know that you don’t need to be able to create a WordPress site from scratch to use WordPress.

Please think and decide for yourself what you want to do with your site. Just know that you can’t just dump a plugin in your file and expect the rest of the website will just appear around it.

I don’t mind use WordPress but i don’t know how to move my website to it i even installed it then installed migrate plugin but didn’t Work it’s migrate only wordpress websites but you mentioned that don’t need to be able to create a WordPress site from scratch to use WordPress. So would you tell me the steps to move my website to wordpress and start using wordpress

So you want to migrate a WordPress site that was hosted somewhere else to InfinityFree, correct? Luckily this has been talked about before.

No sir i already have a website hosted in infinity free and i want to move it to wordpress that i installed also here from softaculous

I don’t think you understand how WordPress works. You can transfer your website to WordPress unless it is already a WordPress website. You can’t just convert your website to WordPress, it does not work that way.

In softaculous, you can install WordPress, then create your website (Using whatever WordPress plugins) how you want it.

So to move a non wordpress website to wordpress is impossible and i have to create it from the begining and there is no way to move any non wordpress website to wordpress right?

Correct. It’s possible to recreate a website with the same contents as an existing website in WordPress, but that’s something that would have to be done by hand. You can’t just dump a website into WordPress and have it automatically put together.
