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
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Click Choose File, select the ZIP you downloaded, and click Install Now.
- Click Activate. Done.
Installing a theme
- Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
- Choose the ZIP file and click Install Now.
- 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.
