When you download Bloom from the Elegant Themes Member&#8217;s Area, you will be be given a file called bloom.zip. Some browsers (such as Safari on OSX) will automatically unzip that folder for you. In this case, you will need to re-size the Bloom folder by right clicking the folder and compressing it. Once you have located your bloom.zip file, you are read to upload it to your WordPress website.<br \/>\nLog in to your WordPress Dashboard and click the Plugins > Add New link. This will bring you to the WordPress plugins page. <\/p>\n<h2>Upload Your Plugin<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/upload.jpg\" alt=\"upload\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the plugins page in your dashboard has loaded, locate the &#8220;Upload Plugin&#8221; button towards the top of the screen.
