Cevento can also be installed via FTP. For this, you need a program that allows FTP access and the FTP login credentials to connect to your webspace. Contact your hosting provider if you don&rsquo;t have them. On the Komplizinnen website (the masterminds behind Cevento), you will find a <a href=\"https:\/\/komplizinnen.at\/tools-empfehlungen\/\" rel=\"noopener\">recommendation for an FTP program<\/a>. <strong>Some hosting providers also offer a web interface for file management,<\/strong> which you can use instead. Then follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If your FTP program or hosting provider does not support extracting .zip files, first extract cevento.zip on your device.<\/li>\n<li>After connecting to your webspace, navigate to the WordPress plugin folder (default: wp-content\/plugins).<\/li>\n<li>Upload the extracted folder named <span class=\"cevento-docs__term\">cevento<\/span> to the plugins folder via FTP. If your FTP program or hosting provider supports extracting .zip files, you can also upload <span class=\"cevento-docs__term\">cevento.zip<\/span> and then extract it there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"activate-cevento\">Activate Cevento<\/h2>\n<p>Immediately after installation, click <span class=\"cevento-docs__term\">Activate<\/span> or go to the WordPress dashboard menu <span class=\"cevento-docs__term\">Plugins<\/span> and click the link <span class=\"cevento-docs__term\">Activate<\/span> under Cevento.<\/p>\n<div uk-lightbox><a href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/cevento-docs\/en\/001-002-installation_cevento-aktivieren-01.jpg\" data-caption=\"&ldquo;Activate plugin&rdquo; button directly after installation\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/cevento-docs\/en\/001-002-installation_cevento-aktivieren-01.jpg\" alt=\"&ldquo;Activate plugin&rdquo; button directly after installation\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"cevento-docs__caption\">Activation directly after installation in the WordPress dashboard<\/span><\/p>\n<div uk-lightbox><a href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/cevento-docs\/en\/001-002-installation_cevento-aktivieren-02.jpg\" data-caption=\"&ldquo;Activate&rdquo; button in the plugin list\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/cevento-docs\/en\/001-002-installation_cevento-aktivieren-02.jpg\" alt=\"&ldquo;Activate&rdquo; button in the plugin list\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"cevento-docs__caption\">Activation in the Plugins menu, e.g. after installation via FTP<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"activate-license\">Activate License<\/h2>\n<p>To receive all future Cevento updates in WordPress, you must enter your Cevento license key, which you received when purchasing the plugin, in the plugin settings.
