    1. Save the plugin file to your computer. If you want some assurances before you download, check out the page for teamupdraft.com at Google Safe Browsing.
    2. Mac users – If you’re using Safari, your Mac may automatically unpack the ZIP file. This is not desirable for WordPress plugins. To prevent this:
      • Go to Safari >> Preferences.
      • Uncheck ‘Open safe files after downloading’.

Step 3: Install the free version of AIOS (if not installed)​

AIOS Premium requires the free All-In-One Security (AIOS) plugin to function. If you don’t already have it installed, follow these steps:

info

If your hosting provider has a small maximum upload limit, WordPress may say the file is too large. In this case, you can install the ‘Upload Larger Plugins’ plugin from the WordPress directory, which allows you to upload files above the standard PHP upload limit.
