Every Leadpages account includes a plugin you can use to install your landing pages, pop-ups, and alert bars on your WordPress site.
Make sure your WordPress site has PHP version 7.2 or higher currently installed. If you're unsure of your PHP version, you can install this separate plugin on WordPress to find out. In addition, make sure your PHP is using TLS 1.2 or higher.
To connect Leadpages to your WordPress site you’ll:
- Download the WordPress plugin from your Leadpages account
- Upload the plugin to your self-hosted WordPress site and activate it
- Begin publishing pages, pop-ups, and alert bars to your site
Download the plugin
- Click the Actions more next to any published page in your Landing Pages listing, then Publishing Options. (A page must be published in order to access these options.)
- Select the WordPress & HTML tab and click Download Now.
You only need to download the plugin once. That said, you may want to follow the steps above if the version number listed next to the Download Now link is not the same as in your WordPress account. Additional details are available here: Migrating from Previous WordPress Plugin Versions.
Add the plugin to your WordPress site
Now that you’ve downloaded the plugin, it’s time to install it on your site.
- Log in to your WordPress Dashboard and choose Plugins › Add New.
- Click Upload Plugin. Choose the ZIP file you downloaded and click Install Now.
- When prompted, click Activate Plugin to complete the installation. You should now see Leadpages in your WordPress Dashboard’s sidebar.
- Click the Leadpages tab and log in using your Leadpages credentials.
Troubleshooting tips
The steps below should help resolve most common issues you might have while installing the plugin and logging into your Leadpages account.

- Manually type in your Leadpages login credentials, instead of using a password manager to auto-fill.
