   How to install WordPress Plugins if your hosting provider do not allow you auto-update/install through FTP connection

   Problem: I'M HAVING PROBLEMS CONNECTING TO WORDPRESS FTP, I'm HOSTED in awardspace, when I tried to add a plugin for WordPress I got following 2 error:

   1. "Warning: socket_last_error() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in /srv/disk1/pauls04/www/secureitsolution.co.cc/blog/wp-admin/includes/class-ftp-sockets.php on line 59"

   2. "Failed to connect to FTP Server secureitsolution.co.cc:21"

   because they didn't allow connections for auto updates.

   Solution:

   1. Download the Plugin.
   2. Unzip it in your PC.
   3 Upload the files to /wp-content/plugins/ of your site through FTP
   3. On your WordPress administration, choose Plugins.
   4. Scroll down to inactive plugins, find the Infolinks plugin, and click activate.

   BINGO_!!!!
