How it works

Move from package to working site.

Confirm the source and version

Use a recognised NexDirectory distribution route and match the package name, Free-core version and release notes.

Install on staging first

Run the setup and journey checks

Choose one site profile, create representative listings and test search, submissions, accounts, moderation and mobile views before production.

Questions

Common questions.

Is Free limited by listing count?

No. Free supports unlimited basic listings and submissions; practical capacity depends on the WordPress and hosting environment.

Does Pro replace Free?

No. Pro is a separate companion plugin that adds advanced capabilities while Free remains installed as the publishing foundation.

Can I install directly on production?

Use staging first, keep a current backup and test the exact package with the active theme and integrations.
