Some users report fatal errors after manually uploading the Inbound PRO plugin via SFTP/FTP. If this happens to you make sure your FTP client is not set to Binary mode.

Installing Extensions
One click installation
Our new Inbound Pro component will read the permissions of you API key and allow for one-click installations and uninstallations of all Inbound Now templates and plugins. If you do not have access to extensions and landing page templates then they can still be purchased individually at ou rmarketplace.
Manual installations
In the case that the extension you are looking to install is a free download, or you have an extension asset from a time when we sold extensions individually, then you should be able to install the extension (zip format) like you would any other WordPress plugin.
Installing Templates
One click installation
Both Landing Page, Email, and Call to Action templates are installed from within the Inbound PRO plugin, leaving no need for FTP transfers or manual template/extension upgrades.
To find the template installation area follow this navigation breadcrumb:
wp-admin->Inbound Now->Templates

When creating your own templates make sure they manually added into the following directory:

Sometimes we give away free templates in zip format. To install free assets or assets stored in zip format then follow these UI based instructions:
