It sounds like your computer may have automatically unzipped the microthemer.zip file. You have a couple of options: 1. Re-zip the folder and then upload the zip file via (WordPress admin area) > Plugins > Add New > Upload. Here is some info on how to zip folders: MAC: https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-zip-and-unzip-files-and-folders-on-a-mac-2260188 Windows: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028088/windows-zip-and-unzip-files 2. Use an FTP program like Filezilla (for Windows/Mac) to upload the unzipped folder to the following directory on your site: `/wp-content/plugins/` The the new directory would be: `/wp-content/plugins/microthemer/` Actually, there’s a 3rd option that might be even more convenient. From the WordPress admin area, go to Plugins > Add New. The search for Microthemer Lite. Install it, then unlock the full plugin using the credentials shown in My Downloads. I hope that helps. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks, Sebastian
