Install
How do I install it?
Two routes. Either one takes about a minute: a download, an upload and a click on Activate.
With Git Plugin
In your WordPress admin, open Plugins, click Git Plugin, paste the repository URL and click Install, then Activate.
https://git.web9.live/pcgraphics/formulator
Upload the zip
Download the zip, then in Plugins click Add New Plugin, then Upload Plugin. Choose the zip, click Install Now, then Activate.
What does it need?
How do I update it?
Formulator checks its repository for a newer release tag. A new version shows up under Dashboard → Updates next to your other plugins; click Update. If you uploaded the zip by hand, install Git Plugin to get the same update checks.
Is it really free?
GPLv2 or later, public repository, no paid tier, no license keys, no account. Use it on as many sites as you like, yours or your clients'.
Found a bug?
Open an issue on the repository. Say what you did, what you expected and what happened, and the plugin and WordPress versions from At a glance.
