Do I have to upload all the files in the zip folder for it to work correctly?

    the extract will produce that directory(that was implied), and it has to be exactly the name the extract gives it in upper and lower case.

  • OK, thanks. So you extract all the files, then upload them, correct?

    no matter how you do it. you want all the files in the plugins directory in the same exact structure as the extract produces. Some people can use cpanel to extract a zip. Some people manually create the directory structure, change directory permissions and put each file in its place. Its not the method its the result.

    All the files in a plugin are there for a reason and all are used except for readme.txt and other documentation for the most part. all css js php files are definitely needed if your goal is to have it work!

  • I agree with @peregrine, but all the files should be in a folder such as "fileupload" which would be /plugins/your-folder-name/files
