Plugin Update

Keeping WowInvoice updated ensures you receive the latest features, improvements, compatibility updates, and security fixes.

Updating the plugin will not affect your existing settings or generated document configurations.

Update the Free Version

If you installed the free version of WowInvoice from the WordPress plugin directory, you can update it directly from your WordPress dashboard.

Method 1: Update from the Dashboard

When a new update is available, WordPress will display an update notification.

  • Go to Dashboard → Updates
  • Locate WowInvoice from the plugin list
  • Select the plugin & click Update Plugins

Method 2: Update from the Plugins Page

You can also update the plugin individually from the installed plugins page.

  • Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins
  • Find WowInvoice
  • Click Update Now

Update the Pro Version

The Pro version can be updated either automatically or manually, depending on your license activation status.

Method 1: Automatic Update

If your license is activated successfully, you can update the Pro version directly from your WordPress dashboard.

  • Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins
  • Find WowInvoice Pro
  • Click Update Now when an update is available

Method 2: Manual Update

If automatic updates are unavailable, you can manually update the plugin using the latest ZIP file.

  • Download the latest WowInvoice Pro ZIP file from your WPXPO account
  • Go to Plugins → Add Plugin
  • Click Upload Plugin
  • Upload the latest plugin ZIP file
  • Click Install Now
  • When prompted, click Replace current with uploaded

Manual update follows the same process as the initial Pro plugin installation.

Enable Auto Updates (Optional)

You can enable automatic updates for WowInvoice directly from the plugins page.

  • Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins
  • Locate WowInvoice
  • Click Enable Auto-updates

WordPress will then automatically install future plugin updates when available.

Best Practices Before Updating

Before updating WowInvoice, it is recommended to:

  • Review the changelog or update notes
  • Create a full website backup
  • Test updates on a staging site if possible
  • Ensure your WordPress and WooCommerce versions are compatible

These steps help minimize potential issues, especially on live WooCommerce stores.
