You can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/backwpup\/\">BackWPup<\/a> plugin or one of the thousand alternative plugins to backup your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Download your purchased plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First of all you need the plugin package as ZIP file. <\/strong>Please be aware that the downloaded file is already a <strong>ready-to-use ZIP file<\/strong>, which you can use right away to upload to your WordPress Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> Some browsers like Safari include an automatic extract feature, which will unzip the .ZIP file when you download it. Therefore you have to deactivate this feature before you download the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Install plugins via Upload Function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to install your downloaded WordPress plugin,<strong> login to your WordPress Dashboard<\/strong> and go to <em>Appearance \u2192 Plugins. <\/em><strong>Click<\/strong> on <em>\u2018Add New\u2019<\/em> at the top of the plugins screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/doc.freevision.me\/luxed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2023\/09\/install-plugins.png\" alt=\"install-plugins\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You are able to search for WordPress.org hosted plugins now.

WordPress will then automatically upload the zipped plugin file, extract it and install the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/doc.freevision.me\/luxed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2023\/09\/select-plugin.png\" alt=\"select-plugin\" class=\"wp-image-27836\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the installation process WordPress has to connect to your webserver via FTP in order to copy the plugin files to your WordPress installation.
