STEP 1:

  • Login to your WordPress Admin Dashboard and upload the Easy Installer plugin via WP admin -> Plugin installer. Activate the plugin.

  • Find your DAP license key in your members area on our site and enter it in the ‘Enter your license’ section in the settings page. Save the license and follow the instructions on the settings page to complete the install.

STEP 2:

  • Now move to step 2 in the easy installer settings page. 
  • Select the version you want to install (FINAL version recommended) and click on DAP 1-click install / upgrade to install or upgrade DAP.
  • OR you can download the latest DAP zip file from your members area on DigitalAccessPass.com site. Then click on "Choose Files" to find the DAP zip file in your desktop and upload it. The files will get automatically uploaded to the root folder on your website.
  • If it works and is able to upload files to your server, it’ll display a “SUCCESS” message at the top on the page.If you do not find any message, it’s likely that the upload didn’t work.

What if you don't get the success message or get a license or another error?

If you see the success message, go to the next step.


If not, then unfortunately you’ll have to use “FTP” or “File Manager” (in your webhost cpanel) to upload files. On some servers, the file upload does not work due to permission issues or file/folder ownership issues.  You can’t use easy installer on these servers. Click here for detailed instructions.
