WP Meta SEO: Installation

1. Install

WP Meta SEO is composed of a free version, available in the plugin directory, and a paid one - an addon that contains additional themes and configuration.

 

Install the free version

In order to install our plugin, you should use the standard WordPress installer, or unzip and put everything in the folder in /wp-content/plugin.

The free version is available in the plugin directory and can be installed through the WordPress administration panel.

Install the PRO ADDON

The PRO ADDON needs to be purchased and downloaded from JoomUnited. To install, download the zip package from your account (My account menu) and install it using the zip uploader: Plugin > Add new > Upload plugin.

Click on activate plugin to get all additional features activated.

2. Update the plugin

In order to update WP Meta SEO, you can use WordPress' default updater. You can also remove and install the new version from a .zip file downloaded from www.joomunited.com. In any case, you won’t lose any content because everything is stored in the database.

To update the paid version, you need to login to your JoomUnited account from the WordPress settings: Settings > General.
