Installation
First, download Form Block from WordPress.org:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/form-block/
After buying Form Block Pro you will receive a download link to the plugin file and a license key. Download the file as well. For the free Form Block plugin, such credentials are neither available, nor required.
Installation through the backend
You can uploaded the downloaded .zip files directly in your WordPress backend. You will need a user account with administrator permissions (or super administrator permissions in multisite installations). As soon as you’re logged in, you can find the entry Plugins > Install in the menu. You can upload the .zip file on this page by clicking on the button “Upload plugin” alongside the headline.
Installation through FTP
To install the downloaded .zip files through (S)FTP, you first need to extract it and upload the files and folders with an FTP program of your choice onto your website.
After the upload, they should be found in wp-content/plugins/form-block-pro and wp-content/plugins/form-block.
Installation via Composer Since 1.4.0
Composer is a package manager for PHP projects, which can be used in your own PHP projects to add Form Block Pro as a required package.
Add auth.json
The auth.json file is used in Composer to manage credentials. Since our Composer repository requires authentication via email address and license key, add the following to your auth.json in your project’s root directory:
{
"http-basic": {
"packages.epiph.yt": {
"username": "your-email@domain.tld",
"password": "146e217a-1520-437a-858a-29922787fa7d"
}
}
}Replace the value of username with the email address your license is connected with and the value of password with your license key. You can found both of them in your account.
Add repository
Next, you need to add the repository packages.epiph.yt to your composer.json. This can look like this:
"repositories": [
{
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://packages.epiph.yt"
}
]Install the plugin
Now you can install the plugin via Composer with one command:
composer require epiphyt/form-block-pro
