Having trouble installing a theme or plugin? You’re not alone – many GPL plugins and themes require a few extra steps to work perfectly.

Here’s a quick step-by-step guide you can follow for most products:

🧩 Installing a Plugin:
  1. Go to WP Admin → Plugins → Add New
  2. Click “Upload Plugin” and select your .zip file
  3. Click Install Now then Activate

🔐 If the plugin asks for a license key, you can skip it or click “Activate Later” – most GPL plugins still work fully.

🎨 Installing a Theme:
  1. WP Admin → Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme
  2. Select .zip and install
  3. Some themes require the “child theme” and demo content import – check our notes on each theme download page.


Troubleshooting tips:
  • Use PHP 8.1 or higher
  • Set upload_max_filesize to at least 64MB in your PHP settings
  • If upload fails, use FTP or File Manager to manually upload into /wp-content/plugins/ or /themes/
