Before getting started, you’ll first need to make sure that WPForms is [installed and activated](https://wpforms.com/docs/install-wpforms-plugin/) on your WordPress site and that you’ve [verified your license](https://wpforms.com/docs/verify-wpforms-license/).

## Accessing the WPForms Addons Page

In your WordPress admin area, navigate to **WPForms » Addons** to view the addons available with your license level.
