When an update is released for any plugin that is active in your WordPress website a suggestion is that you should update immediately.

We strongly suggest to do this with our plugins as well!

There are a couple of ways to update our plugins.

  1. Automated updates
  2. Manual updating

Manual updating​

If automated updates don't work for you, update the manual way.

Plugins are updated as any other, you deactivate and remove the plugin from the website and then you install the new version.

There's no need to worry about the options and configuration as it is kept in the database.
