2. Navigate to Plugins > Add New in the sidebar.
3. Type PreBook in the search bar.
4. Locate PreBook in the results and click Install Now.
5. Once installed, click Activate to start using PreBook.

Method 2: Manual Upload

1. Download the PreBook ZIP file from the official WordPress.org plugin repository.
2. Log into your dashboard at http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin.

Troubleshooting Common Installation Issues

• “Installation failed: Unpacking error”
  The ZIP file may be corrupted. Download a fresh copy and retry. If the issue persists, ask your hosting provider to check server permissions.
• “PreBook not in search results”
  Double-check your spelling and internet connection. Alternatively, use the manual upload method.
• “Plugin does not have a valid header”
  Download PreBook again from the official WordPress repository. This error typically indicates a corrupted file.
• “Missing style.css stylesheet”
  You’re likely in the Themes section. Navigate to Plugins > Add New instead.
• “Activation failed: PHP version too low”
  Your PHP version doesn’t meet the minimum requirements. Contact your hosting provider to upgrade to PHP 7.3 or higher.
