updateWhenever you have an update, it will show next to your plugin on your dashboard.

  • One telling you that the plugin is “Up to Date” as seen in the first tab below.
  • One telling you that there is an “Update Available” as seen in the second tab below
  • And lastly one stating an update is available but you need to “Renew Updates” before you can proceed. This is seen in the third tab below.
You can also do this update from the “Plugins” section in your WordPress admin panel. If you go to “Plugins > Installed Plugins” you will either see the normal state, an update available state, or a renew updates sate. The latter of the 2 are shown in the 4th tab below.

If there is no update then you will be presented with a message as seen in the screenshot above.

New Version Available

NOTE: The WordPress Automatic Update first deletes the existing plugin files and then uploads the new ones. If you have customised any of the plugin files or have created your own theme in the .../wp-checkout/views section of the plugin, these will be deleted. Make sure that you back these files up to your computer so you can re-apply the changes after the update is completed.

If there is an update available then you have 2 options. One is to “Update Automatically” and the other is to “Download Update“.

Choosing to update automatically will begin the WP automatic update, the screen will be redirect where you can see the usual downloadingunpacking and installing messages as it progresses through the process.

Choosing to download the update will save the file to your computer in .zip format. From here you can then manually install the new plugin files via cPanel or FTP. Instructions for doing so can be seen here.
