To begin with, you have to log in to your account on wp-modula.com. After logging in, please access My Account > Purchase History.
To download the extension click on ‘View Details and Downloads‘ and then click on ‘modula-video’ to get the zip file.
If you are using the browser Safari on a Mac, when you download the zip file it extracts the file from the archive directly to your computer (you might only see the file folder with the plugin’s files in it, instead of the zip). If that is the case, then try and download the zip from your account using a different browser, or check your Trash, as the zip file should be there. To see how to prevent Safari from unzipping files please follow this tutorial.
To Install and activate the plugin, go to your WordPress dashboard and follow the next steps:
Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin > select the .zip file you downloaded from your account. After this, click on the ‘Install Now‘ button and wait for the file to load. Lastly, press the ‘Activate‘ button.
If you need help uploading the extension to your WordPress site please follow this tutorial here. You will need to watch ‘Method 2: Upload Plugin‘ timestamp 1:24.
