Installing Listora Pro

Pro feature - This page covers the installation of Listora Pro, the premium add-on.

What it does

Listora Pro is a premium add-on for Listora (Free). It adds Google Maps, a credit-based payment system, analytics, multi-criteria reviews, lead forms, and more. This guide covers installing Pro and verifying it is active.

Requirements

  • Listora (Free) version 1.0.5 or higher, installed and activated.
  • WordPress 6.4 or higher.
  • PHP 7.4 or higher.
  • A valid Listora Pro license key (from wbcomdesigns.com).

How to install

For site owners (admin steps)

  1. Log in to your wbcomdesigns.com account and download the latest wb-listora-pro.zip.
  2. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Choose the ZIP file and click Install Now.
  4. Click Activate Plugin.
  5. Pro activates and you'll see a notice asking you to enter your license key.

Verify activation

  1. Go to Listora → Settings → License.
  2. Enter your license key and click Activate License.
  3. A green "License activated" notice confirms success.
  4. Under Plugins, confirm both Listora and Listora Pro are listed as active.
  5. Go to Listora → Settings - you should see a Pro tab in the settings navigation.

Tips

  • Do not delete Listora (Free) after installing Pro - Pro is an add-on, not a replacement.
  • Local development environments (Local by Flywheel, DevKinsta, etc.) skip remote license validation automatically. You'll see a "local mode" notice instead of an error.
  • If you manage multiple sites, each site requires a separate license activation. Deactivate on one site before activating on another if your license has a site limit.
  • Auto-updates: once your license is active, Pro updates appear in Dashboard → Updates alongside your other plugins.

Common issues

Symptom Fix
Pro menu items not appearing Ensure Listora (Free) is active - Pro requires it
"Invalid license key" error Double-check the key from your account at wbcomdesigns.com; copy-paste rather than typing
ZIP upload fails Check upload_max_filesize in your PHP settings; increase to at least 32MB
Pro settings tab missing Deactivate and reactivate Listora Pro
