  1. Visit Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin.
  2. Select the wphelpdesk-x.y.z.zip file you have previously downloaded (note that x.y.z will reflect the version you’re about to install, e.g. 1.2.12) and click Install Now.
  3. After the installation, click Activate;
  4. Visit the Licenses tab in the plugin’s settings (WPHelpDesk -> Settings -> Licenses), enter the license key for the main plugin and click Activate License.

How to install and activate add-ons

To install any of our add-ons, repeat the above steps for each of them.

Please note that we recommend only installing the add-ons you are going to use. This helps to keep your WordPress installation as minimal as possible without cluttering the plugins directory with unused add-ons.

How to update WPHelpDesk and its add-ons

WPHelpDesk and its add-ons can be updated in the same way as any other plugin. When there is a new version, a notification will appear on the Plugins page allowing you to view the details of the new version and perform a one-click update.

Please note that if you have not activated your licenses, you will see a notification for the new version but will not be able to perform the update.
