Installation

Dispatch Pro installs as a second WordPress plugin alongside Dispatch Core. Both must be active at the same time.

Step 1 — Install and activate Dispatch Core

If you haven’t already, install and activate Dispatch Core first. See Dispatch Core Installation for step-by-step instructions.

Step 2 — Install Dispatch Pro

  1. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin
  2. Click Upload Plugin at the top of the page
  3. Click Choose File, select mmedia-dispatch-pro.zip, then click Install Now
  4. Click Activate Plugin

Step 3 — Activate your license key

  1. Go to Dispatch → Settings → License
  2. Paste your license key into the License Key field
  3. Click Activate License
  4. The status indicator should change to “Active” — the Pro feature set is now unlocked

Your license key is in the purchase confirmation email from Gumroad or from your mmediasoftwarelab.com account. If you can’t find it, see License & Activation.

Install manually via FTP/SFTP

  1. Extract the downloaded zip file on your local machine
  2. Upload the mmedia-dispatch-pro/ folder to /wp-content/plugins/ on your server
  3. Go to Plugins in your WordPress admin and activate Dispatch Pro
  4. Activate your license key as described above

After activation

Once Pro is active and licensed, you’ll see:

  • A Transactional Emails menu item under Dispatch — edit the confirmation, welcome, and unsubscribe emails
  • A Visual Builder mode option when creating or editing campaigns
  • A License tab in Dispatch → Settings
  • An Import button on the Subscribers screen

Next: Configuration

Dispatch Pro

Premium self-hosted email marketing for WordPress. Everything in Core, plus the Visual Builder, customizable transactional emails, and CSV import/export.

Simple Licensing. No Games.

We don't believe in dark patterns, forced subscriptions, or holding your data hostage. M Media software products use clear, upfront licensing with no hidden traps.

You buy the software. You run it. You control your systems.

Licenses are designed to work offline, survive reinstalls, and respect long-term use. Updates are optional, not mandatory. Your tools don't suddenly stop working because a payment failed or a server somewhere changed hands.

✓ One-time purchase, lifetime access
✓ No "cloud authentication" breaking your workflow
✓ Upgrade when you want to, not when we force you
✓ Software empowers its owner — not rent itself back

Built by People Who Actually Use the Software

M Media software isn't venture-funded, trend-chasing, or built to look good in pitch decks. It's built by developers who run their own servers, ship their own products, and rely on these tools every day.

That means fewer abstractions, fewer dependencies, and fewer "coming soon" promises. Our software exists because we needed it to exist — to automate real work, solve real problems, and keep systems running without babysitting.

We build software the way it used to be built: practical, durable, and accountable. If a feature doesn't save time, reduce friction, or make something more reliable, it doesn't ship.

✓ Every feature solves a problem we actually had
✓ No investor timelines forcing half-baked releases
✓ Updates add value, not just version numbers
✓ Documentation written by people who got stuck first

This is software designed to stay installed — not be replaced next quarter.
