Automatic Update
If you have an active license on your website, you can update the plugin on plugin page (if the update is available). Go to your WP Dashboard – Plugins page and update the plugin there.
Updates are only available to customers who have active updates (Lifetime plans or not expired 1 year plans)
In some rare cases is the update not available on your website, even if you have an enabled license (blocked connection to our server, missing server libraries, the update is “fresh”). In this case go to your WP Dashboard – Dashboard – Updates and hit “Check again” link to force the update.
If this tutorial doesn’t help (or you don’t have activated license), you can use a manual update.
