You can install the basic version of the plugin from WordPress.org.
There are two ways with which you can install the free version of a plugin from WordPress.org. The first is to install the plugin directly from the Add New Plugin page of your WordPress website. In the second method, you can install and activate by uploading the zip of the plugin.
Let’s see how each of these methods in detail.
In the first method to install a free plugin from the WordPress plugin directory, you do not even have to leave your website. You can install the plugin by going to Plugins > Add New. This will take you to the Add Plugins page. From here, you can type n the name of the plugin that you want to install in the search box.
After you have found your plugin, you can click on the Install button. After the installation of the plugin, you will be shown the Activate button which you click on to activate the plugin. After activation, you can configure and use the plugin on your website.
In the second method, where you can install and activate the plugin by uploading the zip, you need to download the plugin from the WordPress plugin directory or any other source.

To download a free plugin, click on the required plugin after navigating to the required free plugin page. The window appears as shown below.
Click on the Install Now button.
After downloading the ZIP file, you need to activate it into your website in order to use the plugin.

Steps to Update the Free/Basic Plugin to the Latest Version
Updating a free plugin is easier than installing it. All you need to do is go to the Plugins page from the admin side of your WordPress website and check if there are any update notifications for the corresponding plugin. If there are any updates, the notification in the WordPress plugin page.
From this notification, you will have a direct link to update the plugin. Click on the Update now link, and the plugin will be updated within a minute.
If in any case, you are unable to update the plugin from the Plugins page, you can update the plugin by uploading the zip file of the latest version of the plugin. Remove the existing installed version of the plugin from your WordPress site before uploading the latest version. You need to deactivate and delete the plugin. Otherwise, you will end up getting the ‘Destination folder already exists’ error.

Hello, I downloaded the free version to try the Pick List feature, but it is only available in the Pro version. Does this mean I have to buy it to try it? Can I get a refund if I don’t like it?

I’m using Mac and trying to download the premium. This is what I get:The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini. What do I do?
Mark
December 16, 2020
HI,
The issue you are facing is because the upload_max_filesize value on your site is less than the size of the file you are uploading. Please increase the upload_max_filesize value on your site or try contacting your hosting provider support.

The Pro licence is one time only or yearly?
Mark
June 18, 2020
You can use the purchased plugin as long as you want. While purchasing a plugin license, you become eligible to receive updates and support for a period of one year. To get support and updates after one year, you need to renew the license.

Hi
I have WordPress multisite. Does the GDPR Cookie Consent Plugin plugin works well in multisite? Is it enough one licence or do I need more licences?
Thank you
Mark
February 7, 2020
If you have a multisite WordPress set up under a single domain, you can use the single site license as the plugin installation is carried out singularly across all sites. You would not require a multisite license if this is the case.
