Newbie question, how do you clone a plugin into a Known website. I get you copy the link under the clone button on github, but then I don’t know what to do next. I have never cloned anything.

I use ftp but what you need to do it navigate to the folder IdnoPlugins
#

Then add a directory exactly how it is in thr Readme.md file. Capitalization matters
#

Then copy and paste all the files from GitHub into the directory you created

You can now activate the plugin

If its a core plugin, or the author has been paying attention and updated their code, by far and away the easiest thing to do is use composer - it'll manage versions as well as sorting out the naming for you
