[Getting Started] How to Install and Activate Link Whisper
[Getting Started] How to Install and Activate Link Whisper (Complete Guide)
Quick Answer
Install the Link Whisper Premium plugin, activate your license at Link Whisper → Settings → Licensing, and then complete the V4 One Click Setup wizard.
1. Download the Premium Plugin
- Open the Link Whisper account login.
- Sign in with the account used to purchase Link Whisper.
- Download the latest Premium plugin ZIP from your account.
2. Install Link Whisper in WordPress
- In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Choose the Link Whisper Premium ZIP file and install it.
- Activate Link Whisper Premium.
3. Activate Your License
- Go to Link Whisper → Settings → Licensing.
- Paste the license key from your purchase email or account.
- Save the settings and activate the license.
4. Complete One Click Setup
Open Link Whisper → One Click Setup. The V4 wizard uses these steps:
- License
- Money Pages
- Connect Search Console, which is optional
- Scan Site or Scan & Link Site
Choose Scan Site when you want to build the initial reports. Choose Scan & Link Site when you are ready to run the AI linking workflow and have enough AI credits.
5. Run and Review a Site Scan
After setup, open Link Whisper → Dashboard and select Run Scan. The dashboard scan refreshes link and target-keyword data together. You can connect Google Search Console for search keywords or skip it and use the keyword sources already available on your site.
The Dashboard shows scan progress and Site Health metrics as the data becomes available. Background AI scans and fixes can continue while you work, and their progress can be reviewed when you return to Link Whisper.
Set Up AI Features
To use AI-powered suggestions or AI fixes, connect Link Whisper AI from Link Whisper → AI Subscription or Link Whisper → Settings → AI. AI features use Link Whisper AI credits. Do not add a personal OpenAI API key.
Important V4 Note
There is no current 300-word minimum setting required to complete setup. Configure content scope and linking rules in Settings based on your site instead.
If Installation or Activation Fails
Confirm that you installed the Premium ZIP, that the license key belongs to the account you used to purchase the plugin, and that your WordPress site can connect to Link Whisper. If the problem continues, contact support with the exact error, your site URL, plugin version, WordPress version, and PHP version.
