Automatic installation

Automatic installation is the easiest way — WordPress will handle the file transfer, and you won’t need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of the plugin:

• Log in to your WordPress dashboard
• Navigate to the Plugins menu, and click “Add New”
• In the search field type “wptelegram-widget” and hit Enter
• Locate the plugin in the list of search results
• Click on “Install Now” and wait for the installation to complete
• Click on “Activate”

Manual installation

Manual installation method requires downloading the plugin and uploading it to your web server via your favorite FTP application. The official WordPress documentation contains instructions on how to do this here.

Updating

Automatic updates should work smoothly, but we still recommend you back up your site.
