How to Install a WordPress Theme or Plugin (Step-by-Step)

GPL Market · July 1, 2026

After you download a product from GPL Market you'll get a .zip file. Here's how to install it.

Installing a plugin

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  2. Click Choose File, select the ZIP you downloaded, and click Install Now.
  3. Click Activate. Done.

Installing a theme

  1. Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
  2. Choose the ZIP file and click Install Now.
  3. Click Activate to make it live.

If the upload fails

A "file too large" error means your host limits upload size. Either raise upload_max_filesize in PHP settings, or extract the ZIP and upload the folder via FTP to /wp-content/plugins/ or /wp-content/themes/.

That's it — your premium theme or plugin is ready to use.
