Welcome to WP Pricing Tables! This comprehensive guide will walk you through the complete installation process, from downloading the plugin to creating your first pricing table. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced WordPress user, you'll have the plugin up and running in just a few minutes.

Before You Begin

System Requirements

Before installing WP Pricing Tables, ensure your WordPress site meets these minimum requirements:

💡 Pro Tip: Check your current PHP version by going to WordPress Dashboard → Tools → Site Health → Info → Server. If your PHP version is below 7.4, contact your hosting provider to upgrade for better performance and security.

What You'll Need

Installation Method 1: WordPress Dashboard (Recommended)

This is the easiest and most common method for installing WP Pricing Tables. Follow these simple steps:

1 Access Your WordPress Dashboard

Log in to your WordPress admin area at yourdomain.com/wp-admin

2 Navigate to Plugins

In the left sidebar, hover over Plugins and click Add New.

3 Upload the Plugin

At the top of the page, click the Upload Plugin button. Then:

⚠️ Important: Do NOT unzip the plugin file before uploading. WordPress needs the ZIP file to install properly. If you accidentally unzipped it, re-download the original ZIP file from your purchase confirmation email.

4 Activate the Plugin

After installation completes, click the Activate Plugin button. You'll see a confirmation message that WP Pricing Tables has been activated successfully.

5 Enter Your License Key

After activation, you'll be redirected to the license activation page. If not, go to Premium Pricing Tables → License in your WordPress dashboard.

  1. Paste your license key into the license field
  2. Click Activate License
  3. Wait for the green success message
✅ Success! Your plugin is now installed and activated! You can start creating pricing tables right away.

Installation Method 2: FTP Upload (Advanced)

If you prefer manual installation or if the dashboard upload method doesn't work, you can install via FTP:

1 Unzip the Plugin File

Extract the premium-pricing-tables-v3.1.0.zip file on your computer. You'll get a folder named premium-pricing-tables.

2 Connect to Your Server

Using an FTP client like FileZilla, connect to your web server using your FTP credentials.

3 Upload the Plugin Folder

Navigate to /wp-content/plugins/ on your server and upload the entire premium-pricing-tables folder to this directory.

4 Activate from WordPress

Go to WordPress Dashboard → Plugins, find "Premium Pricing Tables" in the list, and click Activate.

5 Enter Your License

Follow the same license activation steps from Method 1, step 5 above.

Post-Installation Setup

Verify Installation

After installation, verify everything is working correctly:

  1. Check that you see Premium Pricing Tables in your WordPress admin sidebar
  2. Go to Premium Pricing Tables → All Tables to confirm the plugin loaded
  3. Verify your license is active in Premium Pricing Tables → License

Initial Configuration

Before creating your first table, take a moment to configure basic settings:

  1. Currency Settings: Go to Settings → General and set your preferred currency
  2. Default Colors: Optionally set your brand colors as defaults
  3. Payment Gateways: If using Stripe or PayPal, configure your API keys now

Common Installation Issues

Issue: "Destination folder already exists"

Solution: This means an older version is installed. Deactivate and delete the old plugin first, then install the new version.

Solution: Your server's upload limit is too small. Either:

Issue: "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error"
