Well of course Unified is not a plugin but an SP theme and as such needs to located in the correct pp;ace. Please see:
https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/themes/theme-basics/using-themes/
for details – or use the SP theme upload option from the forum admin.

thank you! I have another problem. I tried to upload the plugin “Blog-linking” but the following message keep popping out:

The folder name of this plugin has become corrupted – probably due to multiple downloads. Please remove the -4 at the end of the folder name. The proper folder name should be blog-linking

 

I have renamed the folder name to blog-linking many times but still unsuccessful.

What folder name are you editing? It does need to be the installed folder:
/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/blog-linking/

I edited the name on the blog-linking.zip folder. Anyway I can uninstall the plugin and install again?

Changing the name on the blog-linking.zip won’t affect what the install folder is called, the reason you have numbers is because blog-linking.zip is used multiple times to install to the same place.

If you can completely uninstall it then yes a reinstall I think should work, but you could also just access your folder via FTP and change the name manually using the path Andy provided above to navigate to the right place:

/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/blog-linking/
