FAQs #
I didn’t receive the confirmation email. What should I do?
First, check your Spam or Junk folder. If you still can’t find the email, wait a few minutes and request the download again using the same email address. Make sure the email address was entered correctly.
The confirmation link doesn’t work.
If the confirmation link has expired or is no longer valid, simply request a new download from the ClickWhale download page to receive a new confirmation email.
Where is the plugin downloaded?
After clicking Start Download Now, your browser will download the ClickWhale plugin as a ZIP file. You can usually find it in your browser’s default Downloads folder.
Should I extract the ZIP file before uploading it to WordPress?
No. Upload the ZIP file exactly as it was downloaded. WordPress will extract and install the plugin automatically.
Why can’t I upload the plugin to WordPress?
Make sure you are uploading the original ClickWhale ZIP file and that your WordPress account has permission to install plugins. If you use WordPress.com, your current plan must support plugin installation. If the upload still fails, contact your hosting provider or our support team.
Can I install ClickWhale on multiple websites?
Yes. You can install the free version of ClickWhale on unlimited websites. ClickWhale Pro licenses have separate website activation limits based on the selected plan.
How do I update ClickWhale?
When a new version is available, you can update ClickWhale directly from your WordPress dashboard, just like any other plugin.
