How to install the plugin in WordPress?

General Beginner Last updated: September 14, 2026

Installing Media Library Recovery Pro through WordPress Admin is the easiest method – no extra software needed. If your host restricts plugin uploads from WP Admin, use FTP/SFTP instead (see below).

Installing via WordPress Admin (Preferred Method)

  1. Download the plugin – after purchasing, log in to your account and download media-library-recovery-pro.zip.
  2. Upload the plugin – in WordPress Admin, go to Plugins > Add New, click Upload Plugin, select the zip file, and click Install Now. See this guide for more detail.
  3. Activate the plugin – once installed, click Activate.

Important Notes

  • If the free version is already installed, it will deactivate automatically (or needs deactivating manually) when you activate Pro – WordPress doesn’t allow both versions active at once.
  • After activation, you’ll find the plugin’s settings under its own menu item in WordPress Admin.

Alternative Method: FTP/SFTP

If you can’t install from the WordPress dashboard, use FTP or SFTP with a client like FileZilla or WinSCP – extract the plugin zip and upload it to wp-content/plugins on your server.

If you run into issues either way, see the WordPress support forums or contact support.
