Installing the Plugin

Series Engine is incredibly easy to install, and if you've ever installed another WordPress plugin before, you know exactly what to do.

To get started, purchase a Series Engine license and download the ZIP file from the link in your purchase email.

Uploading the Series Engine Plugin

The first step is to upload the ZIP file mentioned above to the WordPress site where you're going to use the plugin.

Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to "Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin." Upload the "seriesengine_plugin.zip" file using the provided upload box, and then proceed to the next step when you see the success message.

If you're comfortable using an FTP client, you can also navigate to your WordPress site's 'plugins' directory and upload the unzipped 'seriesengine_plugin' folder from the ZIP file mentioned above.
