New Install
The WP ADA Compliance Check is easy to install:

- If not automatically taken there, go to Settings > Web Accessibility Settings
- Enter the license key received in an email and click “Activate”
- Choose your options and click “Save”.
Updates
Updates are free for the first year. Updates are installed from the plugin screen, like any other WordPress plugin. A notice will be displayed next to the plugin name in the list. Simply choose “update now”.
Installing Updates After a License Expires
Use the following instructions if you are installing an update after renewing an expired license:
- Go to the plugin settings page: Web Accessibility > Settings
- Choose the “License Key” button at the top of the page
- Enter your license key and click activate
- Go to the plugin page: Plugins > Installed plugins
- Scroll to the WP ADA Compliance Check plugin and click, “check for updates”

Mac Users
You may run into the following issue if you are using a MAC:
I am using a MAC computer and when I download files they are not .zip anymore. The zip files automatically get unzipped in my mac when I download them. So how do I install the WordPress plugin without the .zip file.
The Solution
Do the following so your zip files don’t open automatically after you download them:
- Go into Safari Preferences.
- Page titled General.
- Scroll down to the bottom.
- Deselect the box with the text “Open safe files after downloading”.
- The plug-ins will now download as a .zip file which uploads seamlessly to WordPress.
The key is to upload the .zip file via the WordPress plugin uploader interface (not the unzipped folder)
