Free plugin
Install the beta ZIP
Testers get the plugin as a ZIP file before it’s on WordPress.org. Installing it takes about two minutes.
Start on a staging or fresh site. It’s beta software. Back up first, and don’t move your only paying course on day one.
Before you start
- WordPress [6.x] or newer and PHP [8.x] or newer
- A current MySQL or MariaDB database
- The ZIP and Pro licence key from your welcome email
Install it
- In wp-admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Choose the RootWright LMS ZIP and select Install Now.
- Select Activate. RootWright creates its tables on activation.
- Open RootWright → Settings → Licence and paste your Pro key. [Confirm menu path.]
