Installing the Educator Add-on

PressPrimer Certificate – Educator is a premium add-on that adds custom fonts, multi-page certificates, bulk awarding, expiry reminder emails, a branded verification page, and social sharing to PressPrimer Certificate. This guide covers installation, license activation, and what’s added after setup.

Requirements

Before installing the Educator add-on, ensure you have:

  • PressPrimer Certificate (free) installed and activated
  • WordPress 6.4 or higher
  • PHP 7.4 or higher
  • A valid Educator add-on license

Installation

  1. Download the Educator add-on ZIP file from your PressPrimer account.
  2. In your WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins > Add New.
  3. Click Upload Plugin at the top of the page.
  4. Click Choose File and select the ZIP file you downloaded.
  5. Click Install Now.
  6. Once installation completes, click Activate Plugin.

Activating Your License

After activating the plugin, enter your license key to receive automatic updates and premium support.

  1. Navigate to Certificates > Settings.
  2. Click the License tab.
  3. Enter your license key in the provided field.
  4. Click Activate License.

Once activated, the license status shows as Active, along with its expiry date and how many of your activations are in use.

Troubleshooting

  • If you see a message that PressPrimer Certificate is required, ensure the free plugin is installed, activated, and updated. Nothing from the add-on loads until it is.
  • If menu items don’t appear after activation, try refreshing the page or clearing your browser cache.
  • If you encounter a white screen or PHP error, check that your server meets the minimum PHP version requirement (7.4).
  • If license activation fails, double-check that the license key is entered correctly and that your site URL matches the URL on your PressPrimer account.
