During the initial installation of the plugin, several errors will be displayed at the top of the control panel regarding incorrect plugin configuration (lack of Merchant ID, Merchant Key, and payment gateway test mode). They are a positive sign, indicating that the plugin has been successfully installed and activated. They can be eliminated later, during plugin configuration, and during preparation for real payments.
To install the plugin, go to your site's Dashboard:
Select “Plugins” in the left panel, and when the window opens, click the “Add Plugin” button:
In the window that opens, in the search bar on the right at the top, type “FreedomPay”. When WordPress shows the search results, click the “Install Now” button on the FreedomPay plugin. After successful installation, in the same place, click the “Activate” button:
After completing the above steps, WordPress should automatically take you to the installed plugins page, where you can check if the installation was correct:
If automatic installation using the WordPress plugin directory is not available for some reason, an advanced user or developer can install the plugin manually by placing the plugin files in the WordPress plugins directory.
To accomplish this, you need to take some steps:
Download a copy of the SVN repository that contains the plugin's source code and resources: plugins.svn.wordpress.org/freedompay-payment-gateway (this can be done using the svn/subversion utility on unix-like systems):
Next, you need to copy the trunk directory from the downloaded copy to the WordPress plugins directory (by default, this is wp-content/plugins), and rename it to “freedompay-payment-gateway”:
After this, you have to go to the page of installed WordPress plugins and activate the FreedomPay plugin:
