Before you install
The current Drumbeat package declares WordPress 7.0 or later and PHP 8.2 or later. Ask your hosting administrator to check these versions. You need permission to install plugins and a valid Drumbeat license. AI and social features also need their own service connections.
Back up your WordPress site before installing or updating. Try changes on a staging site when possible.
Install and activate
- In WordPress, open Plugins → Add New Plugin.
- If you have a Drumbeat ZIP, choose Upload Plugin, select the ZIP, and choose Install Now. If installing from a repository listing, follow that listing’s installation controls.
- Activate Drumbeat. Guided Setup opens for an incomplete installation.
- Keep your licensing email and license key available for the activation step.
Already have a license?
In the first Guided Setup step, enter the licensing email and key associated with your Blue Flame Advisors license, then choose Activate License. Wait for successful verification. Drumbeat cannot proceed past this step or unlock its main features without an active license.
Use the licensing email shown in your account; it can differ from your WordPress administrator email.
Need an account or license?
Use the signup option alongside the license form. It opens Blue Flame Advisors checkout with the single-installation subscription added. Create or sign in to your account, complete the signup process, then return to Drumbeat to activate the license.
Creating a WordPress user on the installation site does not by itself create a Blue Flame Advisors account or a license.
