Before you start #
- The free Pastmark plugin must be installed and active. It must be version 1.0.7 or newer. Read Install Pastmark.
- You need PHP 8.1 or newer. This is higher than the free plugin needs.
- You must be an administrator.
Install Pastmark Pro #
- Log in to your account on prefixwp.com.
- Download the Pastmark Pro zip file. Do not unzip it.
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to
Plugins → Add New Plugin. - Click Upload Plugin at the top.
- Click Choose File and select the zip file.
- Click Install Now. Then click Activate Plugin.
Pastmark Pro adds no menu of its own. It adds its features to the Pastmark pages. You find them in User Activity → Settings (Alerts, Sessions, Geolocation, Notes and License), in User Activity → Reports → Insights (Login Locations) and on User Activity → Activity Logs (Export CSV and Add Log).
If the free plugin is not active #
You see this message, and Pastmark Pro does nothing:
Pastmark Pro requires the free Pastmark plugin to be installed and active.Install and activate the free Pastmark plugin. Pastmark Pro starts working at once.
The View Login History button on the Sessions page does not work yet in this version. It will come in a future update.
If the free plugin is too old #
Pastmark Pro 1.0.1 needs Pastmark 1.0.7 or newer. With an older version, Pastmark Pro shows a notice in your dashboard and does nothing. Update the free plugin. Then Pastmark Pro works.
