WordPress plugin

Facebook Plugin Version 4.0 and above

Enter your license in the ‘License’ section, which is found under the Facebook Feed > Settings page, as shown in the screenshot below:

The free version and Pro version are actually two separate versions of the plugin. When you purchased the plugin you should have received a link to download a zip file of the Pro version, along with your license key. This should also have been emailed to you at the address that you entered when purchasing the plugin. The Pro version contains the ‘License’ section which will allow you to enter and activate your license. 

There are step-by-step instructions on how to install and activate the Pro version here. If you want to transfer your settings from the free version to the Pro version then you can do the following:

Step #1 – Save your current Free version plugin settings:

Go to your WordPress Dashboard – Facebook Feed – General  – make sure to enable the following set “Preserve settings when plugin is removed”. Then click on “Save Changes”.

Step #2 – Remove the currently installed Free version plugin:

Next, go to your WordPress Dashboard – Plugins and deactivate the current plugin.

Then remove the free version of the plugin.

Step #3 – Now install the Pro version and activate the license. All set!

Please note, if you don’t see a ‘License’ tab then it’s likely that you still have the free version of the plugin installed.

This should also have been emailed to you at the address that you entered when purchasing the plugin. The Pro version contains the ‘License’ tab which will allow you to enter and activate your license.
