2. Getting Started
SECTION 01Installing OpenGraphiq plugin
There are two methods of installing a plugin onto your WordPress site. You can use the WordPress Admin panel to upload and install the plugin, or you can use FTP software instead.
WordPress Plugin Installation
To install the plugin directly from the WordPress admin panel, please first log-in to your wp-admin console.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New,
- Click Upload Plugin,
- Click Choose File.
- If you want to upload the plugin in admin panel, you need to upload installable plugin .zip file, downloaded from your the Downloads section of your profile on CodeCanyon.
- Click Install Now and the installation will begin.
- Once the installation is complete, go to Plugins screen and look for the newly uploaded OpenGraphiq in the list.
- Click Activate to activate it.
FTP Installation
To install the plugin using FTP software, log in to the server where your WordPress website is hosted.
First extract opengraphiq folder from downloaded .zip file from CodeCanyon.
Now connect to your server via FTP and navigate to the wp-content/plugins folder in your WordPress directory online. Upload opengraphiq folder from any of the available plugin .zip packages downloaded from CodeCanyon to the plugins’ folder on your remote server.
Once the plugin is uploaded, you need to activate it. Go to ‘Plugins > Installed Plugins’, find OpenGraphiq and click ‘Activate’ button.
SECTION 02Importing Templates
Please follow the next steps:
1. Go to ‘Tools > Import > WordPress’ and install WordPress Importer plugin if it is not already

3. On the following screen make sure that ‘Download and import file attachments’ is checked. Click ‘Submit’ button and wait until import is finished.
4. Once demo import is done, you should see imported templates in OpenGraphiq panel.
SECTION 03Common Issues And Troubleshooting with plugin install
In this section we will describe the most common errors that can occur when installing the plugin, and provide solutions for them.
I am getting "The Link You Followed Has Expired” Error in WordPress when trying to upload the plugin.
This error usually occurs when you are trying to upload a WordPress theme or a plugin to your website from the WordPress admin area.
WordPress hosting companies have a setting which controls the size of files you can upload from inside the WordPress admin area. They also have a setting which stops scripts from running too long.
You can try installing the plugin using above described FTP upload method or you can increase the limits for the maximum file size if possible. Please refer to the following article for details if you want to increase the limits: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-link-you-followed-has-expired-error-in-wordpress/
I can’t upload plugin. It’s saying it is invalid. What went wrong?
Please unpack plugin folder and upload to your wp-content/plugins using FTP. The archive contains not only plugin but also the other files.
If you want to upload in admin panel, you need to unpack plugin folder (opengraphiq) and pack it again as zip and then upload that zip.
