D) Installation

To install Arnica on your WordPress installation follow these steps:

  2. On top of this section click on Add New, then on Upload and finally click the Choose File button.

  4. After the install process is finished click Activate Plugin.
  5. Set up Arnica by going to the Arnica menu item of the side menu.

If the above steps don't work for some reason, you can try the following:

  1. Unzip arnica-wp.zip. Inside there's a folder, also named arnica-wp.
  2. Use an FTP client (such as FileZilla) to upload the arnica-wp folder to the wp-content/plugins folder of your WordPress installation.
  3. In the WordPress Admin interface, go to the Plugins section of the left hand side menu.
  4. Find Arnica in the list of Installed Plugins and click Activate to enable it.
  5. Set up Arnica by going to the Arnica menu item of the side menu.

E) Settings

As this is a WordPress plugin it’s much better to document all the available options straight in admin panel instead of outlining them here in the help file. So simply install the plugin, go to the admin panel and all the options will be explained there.
