Immediately after installation clearFusionCMS will not have any modules installed apart from the editors and search modules. Additional modules can be obtained from this website and installed to extend the functionality of the CMS.

From the Dashboard select Modules to show the available modules and if your web hosting account permits it the option to upload modules.

  4. Repeat for all the modules that you require.

If the Upload Option is Not Shown
