Installing Pro

Before You Start​

Required: Install and activate the free GrabWP Tenancy base plugin first. Pro is an add-on that extends the base plugin - it will not work without it.

→ Install the free plugin first

Get Your Pro Plugin ZIP​

After purchase, Polar (our payment processor) sends a confirmation email to your address. That email contains a Customer Portal link - open it to download your Pro plugin ZIP file.

If you can't find the email, check your spam folder or search for "Polar" or "GrabWP".

Install the Pro Plugin​

  1. Download the ZIP from your Polar Customer Portal
  2. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  3. Upload the ZIP → Install Now → Activate Plugin

Pro activates alongside the base plugin with no additional configuration needed.

Verify the Installation​

Go to GrabWP Tenancy → Status and check that the Pro plugin is shown as active.

What Changes After Activation​

Once Pro is active, each tenant site in the list gets additional row action links:

Tenant list with Pro actions - Extensions, Backup, Restore, Clone

  • Extensions - manage which plugins and themes are available to the site
  • Backup - create a backup of the site
  • Restore - restore the site from a backup ZIP

The tenant Edit form also gains additional fields for per-site isolation settings (database type, content isolation).

A new GrabWP Tenancy → Pro Settings submenu page is added for configuring default isolation settings for new sites.

Pro Settings - default directories and uploads

Deactivating Pro​

Deactivating Pro removes the Pro UI and stops Pro-specific features. Tenant sites revert to base plugin behavior.

Tenant data is not deleted on deactivation.
