Hello,
I purchased a generate colors file. Downloaded the file and tried to install it. I did not succeed. See what the computer said below. Can you tell me how to proceed?
Best regards, Mine

Hi there,
The file you're trying to upload as a plugin is the free theme.
You need to download the colors add-on (generate-colors.zip) and then upload it.

Let me know if you need more info :)

Hi there this is the message I'm getting while Im trying to instal my plug ins...
Any ideas what Im doing wrong?
generatepress.1.2.9.5.zip is the free theme - not GP Premium/any of our add-ons.
You want to download your add-on in your account: https://generatepress.com/account
Then upload it as your plugin.

For Mantle I bought a plug topic Copyright.
During the installation of the plug receives a message:

Pack could not be installed. Not found properly prepared plugins.
Installing the plug failed.

You're sure you're uploading generate-copyright.zip and not the free theme (generatepres.1.2.9.6.zip)?
My order:
#108775 May 19, 2015 $5.00 View Details and
In the downloads it is the only file generatepress.1.2.9.6.zip
There is no file generate-copyright.zip :(

Sorry, its ok.
generate-copyright.zip im find in my order :)
Glad you found it! :)
I have GP premium 1.2.5 and I need to upgrade since I am losing the Copyright message
I entered my email and activated it - both it and GP premium are ticked - no updates
I download the zip from and manually installed here but it says directory already exists and the install fails
Any suggestions ?
Ugh - dumb bug, sorry about that.
Once your email is activated and GP Premium updates are enabled, it may take a minute for WP to grab the available update. Try going to "Dashboard > Updates" and "Plugins" a few times to kick WP in the butt and tell it to check for updates.
Hello Tom,
I have a GP Premium account bought on March 2015.
I do not have "Generate Section" in the Addon pack I bought.
I tried downloading the latest "gp-preimum.zip" from my account and install it from "Add new Plugin" but got this error:
"Installing Plugin from uploaded file: gp-premium.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
Destination folder already exists. /home/u738255222/public_html/wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/
Plugin install failed.
Return to Plugins page
How can I get "Generate Sections"?
Thank you!
If you activate your email, you should receive plugin updates via the Dashboard: http://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/install-activate-addons/#activate
If that's not working, you can manually update by deleting the GP Premium plugin, and installing the new gp-premium.zip.
Before doing the above, backup your database (better safe than sorry - but your settings won't be touched).
Thank you Tom! it works!
You're welcome! :)
