Activating ZenBlocks Pro

ZenBlocks paid features are managed from the Pro tab under Settings > ZenBlocks in the WordPress admin. This page covers not only the initial setup right after purchase, but also common points of confusion when renewing a license or re-setting up on a different site.

What You Can Do on This Screen

  • Enter and activate your license key
  • Check your current plan, renewal date, and status
  • Auto-install the Pro plugin
  • Deactivate your license
  • Navigate to the subscription management page on Lemon Squeezy

Setup Steps

  1. Open Settings > ZenBlocks
  2. If you haven’t purchased yet, click Get ZenBlocks Pro to make a purchase
  3. Enter the license key included in your purchase confirmation email
  4. Click Activate and confirm the status changes to Active
  5. If Install Pro Plugin appears, proceed with the installation
  6. Open the editor and verify that Pro-exclusive panels are unlocked

Verification Checklist

Plugin list showing both ZenBlocks and ZenBlocks Pro activated
Plugin list showing both ZenBlocks and ZenBlocks Pro activated
  • Is the status showing Pro Active?
  • Has the warning about a missing Pro plugin disappeared?
  • Can you access Pro items such as animations and thumbnails in the block settings?
  • Can you navigate to your subscription details via Manage Subscription?

Important Notes

  • License activation alone is not enough — you also need to install the ZenBlocks Pro plugin itself
  • When moving to a different site, run Deactivate License on the current site first
  • Even if you pause Pro, any saved Pro attribute values are retained
  • Re-activating with the same license key lets you pick up right where you left off

Common Issues

Pro Features Not Visible Despite Active Status

  • In most cases, the Pro plugin is either not installed or has been deactivated
  • Check the plugin list to confirm ZenBlocks Pro is active
  • If nothing changes after activation, try refreshing the browser and restarting the editor

Switching to a Different License Key

  • Deactivate on the old site first, then Activate on the new site
  • For subscription management or billing changes, use Manage Subscription rather than WordPress
