Do you have to extract the zipped plugin before uploading it to joomla?

Hello fleme007, Thank you for your question. When you are installing a plugin in Joomla, you should leave it in the .zip format. Here is our guide on how to install a Joomla plugin, also here is the Official Joomla guide on installing a plugin. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul
