    installf3
  • You will be taken to the installing page:
    installf4
    please click Activate Plugin.

II. Install Content Views Pro

The Pro version requires the Free version to work. If you have not installed the Free version, please follow the steps above.

  • In Admin dashboard, click Plugins menu, then click Add New
    WordPress add new plugin
  • Click Upload Plugin at near top of the page
    upload-plugin
  • Click Choose File to select the zipped file (in a .zip format)

    pt-content-views-pro-VERSION_NUMBER.zip

    please click Activate Plugin.

    It’s done 🙂

    To update CVPro automatically, please put your license key to the text field in Content Views >> Settings page:

    If you are using a multisite network, please add the license key to one site in your network.

Note:

If you have not downloaded Pro plugin, please download it here.

Problem:

If you are using Safari browser on a Mac and you can’t find the zipped file to install, but you see the folder pt-content-views-pro
=> The reason is the Safari browser unzipped the file automatically
=> The solution:
+ download Pro package by another browser (Chrome, Firefox), you will get the original zipped file
+ or right click on the folder pt-content-views-pro, then select Compress “pt-content-views-pro” to make a new zipped file.

The folder name must be pt-content-views-pro, otherwise CVPro will not able to work.
