EZ Installer
⚠️ IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE INSTALLING
If you already have our other plugin, BlogFeeds Pro! for Sngine, installed on your platform, * DO NOT * follow the installation steps on this page. Instead, please refer to the Sync-Blogfeeds Guide 9see top menu bar) specifically provided for this instance.
The reason for this is we are adapting our plugin panel to manage our exising, and future, plugins from one location and until we have both existing plugins in sync a standard install will break one or the other. the panel will feature auto-updates, direct links to support and resources, and other features that will make your life easier in managing our plugins on your Sngine system.
THIS STEP WILL NOT BE REQUIRED IN FUTURE UPDATES
Installation is FAST and EASY with our included EZ-Installer! Just follow the outlined steps below and your PageFeeds Pro w/ SocialSync will be up and running in just a few moments.
IMPORTANT!
This method if only for new installs of this plugin. If you have previously installed this product on this system you will need to follow the directions in the UPDATE portion of this documentation.

Theme Files
PageFeeds Pro comes with its required theme files for the default Sngine theme, Elengine, and Xngine. They are located in the 'YND_theme_files' folder that was created when you initially uploaded and unzipped the package. In order for PageFeeds Pro to function, these files will need to be individually copied from the folders in YND_theme-files to the theme folders of any of the 3 themes you have installed on Sngine - . the best way to do this is to use the file manager provided on your hosting.
OVERWRITE EXISTING FILES!
The files to be copied will be :
FROM :
SOURCE : ../public_html/YND_theme_files
- page.php
TO :
DESTINATION : ../public_html/
- AND -_
FROM :
Below MUST be repeated for EACH theme you are using on Sngine
SOURCE : ../public_html/YND_theme_files/content/themes/((theme_name))/templates/ or the plugin will not work!
- _user_menu.tpl
- page.tpl
- YND_js.tpl
- YND_css.tpl
TO :
DESTINATION : ../public_html/content/themes/((theme_name))/templates/
Make SURE you have repeated the last part aboce for EACH theme you are using on Sngine or the plugin will not work!
Additionaly For EACH theme you are using, go to the ../public_html/content/themes/((theme_name))/templates_compiled/ folder and delete all the files in the folder.
Clear your browser cache of all files and cookies.
- NOTE : If you are having any difficulty with copying theme files and overwriting the existing files on your server with the method mentioned above, then you will need to copy them from your PC to your server using an SFTP client such as FileZilla (free). You will need to copy each file, individually, from the download package on your workstation to the coresponding folders in your Sngine installation on the remote server.
