Would you like to start using a Thrive Themes plugin on your website? In this guide, we’ll walk you through downloading the Thrive Product Manager from your account, installing it on your WordPress site, and enabling the Thrive products you want to use. All you need is an active Thrive Themes license and admin access to your WordPress site.
Downloading the Thrive Product Manager Plugin
All Thrive plugins are installed through the Thrive Product Manager, our plugin and license manager. This lets you find all of your purchased Thrive products on one page and install them with a single click.
To get started, log in to your account at thrivethemes.com/login and click the Downloads tab in the menu at the top of your account dashboard:
In the “Get Started” section, click Download to save the Thrive Product Manager zip file to your computer:
While you’re here, copy your license key from the “My Licenses” table as well. You’ll need it to connect your website to your account. To copy it, click the copy icon next to the key:
Note: In some cases, the file may unzip as you download it and appear as a regular folder. The folder must be zipped to use the WordPress plugin uploader. Check out these guides on zipping files for Windows and Mac.
Installing the Thrive Product Manager on Your WordPress Site
Now that you’ve downloaded the plugin zip file, log in to your WordPress site. Inside the admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins » Add New and click the Upload Plugin button.
Next, click Choose File and select the zip file you downloaded from your Thrive Themes account. After adding the file, click Install Now, and activate the plugin once the installation finishes.
Enabling Your Thrive Products
With the plugin activated, click Product Manager in the left admin menu. Connect the site to your Thrive Themes account when prompted. Depending on your Thrive Product Manager version, you’ll log in with your account email or enter the license key you copied earlier.
Once your site is connected, you’ll see all of the Thrive plugins available to your license. Check the Install Product option for each plugin you’d like to use, then click the Install selected products button at the bottom of the page.
The installation takes a few seconds, and your products are then ready to use.
Note: To ensure the products you have installed keep working properly on your website, the Thrive Product Manager has to remain installed and activated on it.
That’s it! Your Thrive products are installed and ready to go. Next, you might want to learn how to manage which websites are using your license.
