 * Hi! This problem could happen for two reasons, either your server got full (what
   I don’t think), or there is some permission issue, that this folder couldn’t 
   be created by PHP.
 * You should just unzip the **smart-slider-2.2.3.11.zip**, and upload the **smart-
   slider-2** folder into the **wp-content\plugins\** folder of your website manually
   through your ftp. But before that, if you have that folder already there with
   some files, you should delete them.
    After you uploaded this folder with everything
   in it, you will see the Smart Slider in your backend Plugins’ list, and you should
   be able to activate it.
 * If you need my help with it, please send me an admin and an ftp account to my
   email: [gabor@nextendweb.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wont-install-9/gabor@nextendweb.com?output_format=md)
