How to Install the Arcio Plugin

April 30, 2026 1 min read By theinternallinker

Arcio is available on the official WordPress Plugin Directory, so installation takes a couple of clicks — no zip downloads needed.

Install from Your WordPress Dashboard (Recommended)

  1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
  2. Go to Plugins > Add New.
  3. Search for “Arcio”.
  4. Click Install Now, then Activate.

That’s it. Arcio connects to its managed AI service automatically — there are no API keys to create and nothing to configure. You’ll find Arcio in your admin menu, ready to analyze your first post. The free plan includes 10 analyses per month.

Upgrading to a Paid Plan

You can upgrade without leaving WordPress: go to Arcio > Upgrade in your admin menu, pick a plan, and checkout happens right in your dashboard. Your license activates automatically — no license key to copy or paste.

If you purchased on getarcio.com first, install the free plugin as above, then click the license activation link in your purchase email — or go to Arcio > Account and paste the license key from that email.

Manual Installation (Rarely Needed)

If your host blocks directory installs, download the zip from the WordPress.org plugin page, then upload it under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. Click Activate Plugin once installed — you’ll be redirected to the Freemius connection screen where you can opt in for updates and sync your license.
