# Redirection Plugin Installation Confusion

 * The instructions for this plugin say to unzip the “redirection” folder and upload
   the “redirection” directory. **Which file is the directory?** “redirection.php”?“
   redirection-admin.php”? None of them worked so I simply uploaded the zipped version.
   Why not make the instructions simple?
 * Thanks,
    Darryl
 * Here’s their instructions:
    _The plugin is simple to install:_
 * Download redirection.zip
    Unzip **Upload redirection directory **to your /wp-
   content/plugins directory Go to the plugin management page and enable the plugin
   Configure the options from the Manage/Redirection page

 * When you unzip the plugin you should have a redirection directory with a bunch
   of files inside the directory. You need to upload the directory, not a file. 
   This is the same as any WordPress plugin, so if you’ve installed others then 
   do the same you did with those.
 * Alternatively just install the plugin directly from the plugin browser in WordPress.
