# How to Update the Plugin

Keeping your plugin up to date ensures you get the latest features, improvements, and security updates. There are two ways to update, depending on whether you’re using the **Free** or **Pro** version.

### **Updating the Free Version**

If you're using the free version of the plugin, update notifications will appear in your **WordPress Dashboard** under **Plugins** → **Installed Plugins**, just like regular WordPress updates. Simply click **Update Now** when a new version is available.

### **Updating the Pro Version**

The Pro version follows the same update process as the free version, but you need to ensure that **Plugin Update Checks** are enabled:

1. Go to **Plugin Settings** → **General Settings**.
2. Enable the **Plugin Update Checks** option.
3. When an update is available, go to **Plugins** → **Installed Plugins** and click **Update Now**.

By keeping your plugin updated, you ensure the best performance, latest features, and continued security!

#### ***Manual Update (If Automatic Update Fails)***

In some cases, the automatic update system may not work on certain hosting environments. If this happens, you can manually update the plugin by following these steps:

1. **Download the latest version** from the **Member Area**.
2. **Deactivate and delete** the current installed version from your WordPress dashboard.
3. **Upload and install** the new version by going to **Plugins** → **Add New** → **Upload Plugin**.
4. Activate the plugin.
