How to install plugins.

Post by craigibhoy »

How do you actually instill plugins, do you need to put the folder which contains the plugins in the plugin folder or put the 2 files without the folder in plugin folder?

Each plugin has a folder containing a . json file and a .png file. That folder should be placed in the Plugins folder.

No, that's not the error log. Theotown since the later updates leaves an error log file if it detects an error in a plugin in the plugins directory.

Plugins just work in the beta versions at the moment. (Outdated)

I don't think your version supports them. Time to update :)

The last update for me was 22nd january, maybe i need to wait as there is no update for me.
Thanks for your help anyway.
EDIT: I found a testing thing on the playstore so i might have some luck here.

Yes the testing think that's it
You need to become a beta tester to get more updates
Usually when you click on the testing thing in the playstore it only takes a couple minutes for you to become a beta tester

It won't if the extension is ".plugin".
