phpBay installs just about like any other plugin for WordPress, but there are a few extra files.

Firstly…

1. Download the plugin to your desktop
2. Unzip it (free unzipper: WinRAR)

After unzipping the package you will see…

An ‘images’ folder, a ‘wp-content’ folder, an ‘auction.php’ file, the instruction manual and a troubleshooting text file.

Upload/FTP Steps (free FTP’er: FileZilla)

1. Upload all the images from the ‘images’ folder to the ‘images’ folder in the root of your blog. If you don’t have an ‘images’ folder in the root, just upload the entire folder.
2. Upload the ‘auction.php’ file to the root of your blog.
3. Upload the entire ‘phpBay’ folder that is inside of the ‘wp-content/plugins/’ folder, to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ folder of your blog.

Now, login to your WordPress Control Panel, click ‘Plugins’ from the left menu, and Activate ‘phpBay Pro Plugin for WordPress’.

Now, phpBay is installed and activated! Good job! Move on to: phpBay Pro Configuration
