How to install
Automatic updates: this item is updated by the Ultrapack Auto Updater. With it installed, the new version shows up in your dashboard like any other WordPress update (how to set it up).
The file on this page is the developer’s full package. Do not upload that file through the dashboard: WordPress answers that the package does not contain a valid plugin. Here the plugin is not zipped, it comes as a folder inside, and that folder is what you zip and upload.
- Download the file
codecanyon-6222931-woocommerce-advance-order-status.zipand extract it on your computer. - Look for the plugin folder (in this item, the folder
codecanyon-6222931-woocommerce-advance-order-status/appzab-woo-adv-order-status/appzab-woo-adv-order-status). - Zip that folder only. Do not use RAR.
- In the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and upload the ZIP file you just created.
- Click Install Now and then Activate.
- The right folder is the one with the
.phpfiles loose inside it. The rest of the package belongs to the author: documentation, license and sample files. - Zip the FOLDER, not what is inside it. If the ZIP opens straight into the
.phpfiles, with no folder, WordPress rejects it.
