can' get gravity forms to install via add plugin search tterm gravity forms or gravityforms
I DOWNLOADED GRAVITY FORMS, UNZIPPED IT, UPLOADED THE UNZIPPED VERSIONTO PLUGIN DIRECTORY USING CPANEL FILE MANAGER, VERIFIED THAT IT WAS THERE AND STILL CAN'T GET IT TO LOAD UNDER ADD NEW PLUGIN
Gravity Forms isn't on the WordPress plugin repository so you won't find it searching there. You can download the plugin files from the downloads page on this site. ----->
SEE above. Downloading unzip, uploading extacted file to plugins and still doesn't work
Larry, if you've uploaded the unzipped plugin folder to your plugins directory properly, you don't need to go to the "add new plugin" link, you should automatically see it in your list of plugins and can activate it from there. If you don't, then you've simply done something wrong.
What I would suggest doing is deleting any instances of the gravityforms folder from the plugin directory and using the built-in WordPress installer... just navigate to the zip file on your desktop and let the installer do the work.

There's no need to type in all caps by the way, it's really annoying.
There is nothing wrong with the zip file, so it's probably due to how you uploaded the files or where you uploaded the files. The easiest way to install Gravity Forms is to follow the install instructions in the Documentation here:
