Hi Bruce,

Thanks for reaching out!

Could you please specify which plugins you want?

Generally there is no problem with firewalls, but you will initially need an internet connection to be able to download and update the plugins.

Does this help? Do you have any other questions that could help clarify?

Cheers,
Andras

What I’m saying is the only way I can install anything is to download it into a folder take it in there and install it in the backend mainly I will not be able to open the dashboard inside their firewall and do anything from the outside what I do is download plug-ins and install them in the back a what I’m saying is the only way I can install anything is to download it into a folder take it in there and install it in the back and mainly I will not be able to open the dashboard inside their firewall and do anything from the outside what I do is download plug-ins and install them in the backend The problem with the add-ons is many times you have to add them on through the dashboard which I will not be able to do

Hello again Bruce,

There’s no need to worry. Beside adding our plugins through the dashboard (Plugins > Add new > Upload Plugin), you can also just unzip the files and copy the plugin files (including its main folder) to the wp-contents/plugins folder on your server (e.g. wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/). Then you should be able to activate them through the dashboard.

Let me know if this answers your question, or if you have anything else.

Cheers,
Andras
