Free version
Please note that if you upgrade PPWP Pro from Free version, please deactivate it before you install this Pro version to avoid conflict in the future.
Since PPWP Pro version 1.1.0, users are required to install our Free version for our Pro plugin to work properly. This installation process will be done automatically for you. In case the automated installation fails, you can install our Free version manually as per this instruction.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New
- Search for “WordPress Password Protect Page Plugin”
- Click the “Install Now” button
Please do NOT delete the Free version 1.1.2.2 and below when our Pro is activated. Otherwise, you’ll lose all your current settings data including your license key.
