nothing installing

Permalink
I have concrete5 installed as my base blog website. I wanted to add addons, however following the process nothing is showing up in the "add functionality" page. maybe its because i'm using the free version? how do I manually install? I keep seeing "concrete/packages" folder but I tried that and still nothing. not getting error just no option for installing new themes or addons. Thank you in advance for your help.

add-ons shouldn't be in concrete/packages, they should be in the root packages folder and they should be unzipped

ive tried there as well, and yes it is connected. its not my first rodeo with c5, just the first time encountering this particular issue

Are you perhaps dropping 5.7 packages into a 5.6 install?

What package are you trying to install specifically?

There's no free/paid versions of concrete5, just the one version.

Dang it, didnt put 2 and 2 together.... see i assumed i had the newest C5 because when I told it to check for updates it said there are none. BUT there is no script for upgrading 5.6 to 5.7........ thats the issue. going to manually upgrade tomorrow, that should fix my problem. thank you for opening my eyes. sorry for wasting yalls time. i will reply back once I have upgraded and successfully added an addon. I should have known better.

Well, there's actually no upgrade path (manual or automatic) from 5.6 -> 5.7 so what you need to do is install a fresh copy of 5.7.

There are some tools that can help with migration if you're moving to 5.7:http://andrewembler.com/2015/11/upgrade-concrete5-sites-57-using-ou...
