To ensure you’re using the latest features and improvements of the plugin, it’s important to keep your Premium Plugin up-to-date. Follow the steps below to update your plugin easily:

1. Automatic Update (Recommended)

Freemius provides a seamless way to automatically update your plugin directly from the WordPress admin dashboard. Here’s how to do it:

1. Login to WordPress Admin:
   • Go to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Check for Available Updates:
   • Navigate to Dashboard → Updates. If an update is available for the plugin, it will appear in the list of plugins with an option to update.
3. Update the Plugin:
   • Select the plugin that needs to be updated, and click the Update Plugins button.
4. Automatic Update Notification:
   • After the update is successfully installed, you will see a notification confirming the update was completed successfully.

2. Manual Update (If Auto-Update is Disabled)

If, for some reason, automatic updates are not available or you prefer to manually update the plugin, follow these steps:

1. Download the Latest Plugin Version:
   • Visit your Freemius account dashboard and download the latest version of the plugin. You will usually receive an email notification when a new version is available.
2. Deactivate the Plugin:
   • Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins, find the plugin, and deactivate it.
3. Delete the Old Version (Optional):
   • You can delete the old version of the plugin without losing any data. WordPress will retain your plugin settings and customizations.
4. Install the New Version:
   • Click Add New at the top of the Plugins page, then click Upload Plugin.
   • Choose the updated .zip file you downloaded from your Freemius account and click Install Now.
5. Activate the Plugin:
   • Once the installation is complete, click Activate Plugin to enable the updated version.

3. Verifying the Update

After updating the plugin, you can verify the update in the following ways:

• Check the Version Number:
  Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins, and check the version number of the plugin to ensure it’s updated to the latest version.

4. Troubleshooting Updates

In case of any issues with the update, try the following steps:

1. Clear Cache:
   If the plugin doesn’t seem to update, try clearing your browser cache and refresh the admin dashboard.
2. Check Plugin Compatibility:
   Ensure that your WordPress version is compatible with the new plugin version. Some updates may require an updated WordPress core.
3. Revert to a Previous Version (If Necessary):
   If something goes wrong after the update, you can revert to the previous plugin version. You can re-download an earlier version from your Freemius dashboard and manually upload it.
4. Contact Support:
   If you’re still facing issues, reach out to our support team via the Support section in your Freemius account dashboard.
