### Install Revolution in WP

This part of the documentation is going to cover, in a step by step instruction the installation of WP Plugins on your WordPress blog in general.

Step 1. The most important task is to make certain you have an upto date backup of your installation! This is always a good thing, not necessarily so important for our plugin but in general.
Step 2. Log into your WordPress Admin area.
Step 3. Look down the left hand column for “Plugins” and then click on the word “Plugins”.
Step 4. Just to the right of the title “(Manage) Plugins” in the image above, you can see a button marked “Add New”, click this button.

###

Step 5. The image above shows the option to upload the plugin from your own PC, this is the revslider.zip inside the zip you had previously downloaded from CodeCanyon. Install the zip and click on "Activate Plugin".
Should you ever experience slight upload problems then please stay calm, simply use an FTP program to access your blog, then browse to /public_html/wp-content/plugins and upload the unzipped slider here. Then check out the Plugin page and activate the plugin.
