 * I am in a bit of a learning curve with plugins. I have just purchased my first
   upgrade for a plugin that I originally installed the Lite version.
 * The installation notes show me to install the .zip file into the wp-content/plugins/
   folder. Yet when I download the .zip file through the purchase site it goes to
   my hard drive’s download folder.
 * How do I get it into the wp-content/plugins/ folder and when is that exactly.
 * Thank you!
    Always learning, Kathryn Shanti Ariel 🙂
