How to Install UpdraftPlus Premium

To install UpdraftPlus Premium, you first need to purchase a license. Head over to the UpdraftPlus pricing page to choose the package that suits you.

Once you’ve made your purchase, head over to your account, and click ‘UpdraftPlus Premium’ in the downloads section.

Save the plugin file to your computer. If you want some assurances before you download, check out the Google Safe Browsing page for TeamUpdraft.

Mac users: If you’re using Safari, your Mac may automatically unpack the ZIP file. This is not desirable for WordPress plugins. To prevent this:

• Go to Safari » Preferences
• Uncheck ‘Open safe files after downloading’
