Which Document Library Pro plan do I need?
Document Library Pro is available in two plans, Essentials and Advanced, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs.
Essentials plan
Essentials is a good fit if you want to share documents publicly, for example on a smaller website or a community project. It includes everything you need to add, organize, and display documents in a searchable, structured table or grid layout.
Advanced plan
Advanced is designed for organizations that need more control over who can see their documents and how they're managed, such as businesses, universities, and local councils. It includes all the Essentials features, plus:
- Restrict access to documents (by user, role, or password)
- Manage document versions
- Automatically expire documents on a chosen date
- Collect leads before people download documents
How to upgrade your plan
If you already have an Essentials license, you can upgrade to Advanced at any time. The quickest way is to click the upgrade link on the plugin settings page in your WordPress dashboard. This takes you straight to the checkout with your existing license key filled in.
Alternatively, follow our full guide on how to upgrade your license.
Once you've upgraded, the Advanced features are available straight away. You don't need to reinstall the plugin, and your settings stay as they are.
Choosing between the plugin and cloud version
Choosing the right plan is one decision, and choosing where your library runs is another. If you are deciding between the WordPress plugin and the cloud version, use our Document Library Pro: WordPress plugin or cloud version? comparison before you upgrade.
