Installing AffiliateWP

When you purchased AffiliateWP you were given a download link on both the purchase confirmation page, and in your purchase receipt email. Download AffiliateWP by clicking on either of these 2 links. You will be given a .zip file which you will upload to WordPress in one of two ways, which are noted below.

From the WordPress admin dashboard

1

In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New

2

Click Upload Plugin

3

Click Choose File and select the zip file that you downloaded when you purchased AffiliateWP

4

Click Install Now

5

If successful, click Activate Plugin to activate it, or Return to Plugin Installer for further actions.

By FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

1

Extract the .zip file you received when you purchased AffiliateWP. This is usually done by right-clicking on the .zip file and selecting "extract" or similar

2

Log in to your site via FTP and navigate to the wp-content/plugins folder

3

Upload the extracted folder from step 1 into the plugins folder

4

In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins

5

Find AffiliateWP and click activate

Note: If unfamiliar with how to use FTP, there are many resources available that provide guides on how to get set up. Here's one we recommend.
