The above file directories should be present wherever your WordPress setup is installed, so in order to locate them and upload the directory you’ll want to use something like an FTP client to access your site’s files on your host. This may be packaged as something like a “file manager” on your hosting provider’s site as well. * Alternatively, you also have the option of installing the plugin from within your WordPress admin area, so that you don’t have to actually manually upload it yourself. To do this, access your WordPress admin area and access your Plugins section. This area should allow you to search for an install/add new plugins. * Let us know if you have any additional questions! * [chschurch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chschurch/) * (@chschurch) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailchimp-plugin-installation/#post-4049612) * Receive the following when clicking on ‘Connect” in Mailchimp List Set Up from Settings> Mailichimp * error! * POST to [http://www.chschurch.org/index.php?mcsf_action=authorized&salt=904234d42bb2203cedff0b426546d51f&user_id=1](http://www.chschurch.org/index.php?mcsf_action=authorized&salt=904234d42bb2203cedff0b426546d51f&user_id=1) failed with 403: Parallels H-Sphere

* I’ve downloaded to the correct directory/path and cannot get to the place where I’m supposed to enter the MailChimp API. At this time, Mailchimp plugin is not operating in our WordPress site. * [mc_tak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mc_tak/) * (@mc_tak) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailchimp-plugin-installation/#post-4049616) * Hey chschurch, * Thanks for posting! The error message indicates that there may be a setting/restriction on the host that’s stopping the plugin from working as expected. As this requires troubleshooting the settings on the host environment that the plugin is being installed on, I’d recommend reaching out to their Support team with the error message that you’re seeing.
