Installing the free Easy Affiliate Links plugin
As the free plugin is hosted on the WordPress.org repository it can easily be installed right from your backend. Just go to the Plugins > Add New page, search for “Easy Affiliate Links”, click on the “Install Now” button first and the “Activate” button next.
Alternatively, download the plugin from the repository and install it just like the Premium plugin (see below).
Installing Easy Affiliate Links Premium
After purchasing the plugin you’ll receive an email with a download link for the plugin file. Another option is to download the plugin file from your account page.
Check if you have a .zip file archive of the plugin after the download. If not, follow these instructions to get a zip archive.
The plugin can be installed by going to the Plugins > Add New page (like you did with the free plugin) and then clicking on the “Upload Plugin” button near the top. Click on “Choose File” to select the plugin zip file, then “Install Now” and “Activate”.
Do I need both the Free and Premium plugin installed?
Yes! The Premium plugin works as an add-on for the free version, so you do need both installed and activated. At any point you could deactivate the Premium plugin, and everything will still be there, just without the extra features.
