Install the plugin either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server (in the /wp-content/plugins/ directory). 2. Activate the ThemeGrill Demo Importer plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. #### Automatic installation Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of Social Icons, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New. In the search field type “Social Icons” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found our demo importer plugin you can view details about it such as the the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking “Install Now”. #### Manual installation The manual installation method involves downloading our social icon plugin and uploading it to your webserver via your favourite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains [instructions on how to do this here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation). #### Updating Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case. ## FAQ ### What is the plugin license? * This plugin is released under a GPL license. ### Where can I report bugs or contribute to the project?
