How do you upgrade a WPMU plugin?

I cannot upgrade any of your plugins the normal way. Is there a trick to this, and if so, would you point me to it? I’ve done a search of your site and if the answer is here, it’s well and truly hidden. It is terribly frustrating to pay for premium plugins that cannot be easily updated to newer versions. Someone told me they do it by diving into the files through the cpanel to do it, but this seems impractical. Tell me there is a simple way to do this. Also, a suggestion: Put that information where it can easily be found. Thanks.

    Hi @tdeveson

    It’s actually very easy to upgrade plugins from wpmudev. All that you have to do is go to your Network admin -> WPMU DEV Dashboard -> Upgrades (http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=wpmudev-updates

    Then it should be able to show you the plugins that need to be updated, and you can only click the Plugins that needs updates and click on Update.

    That’s it, if you need more help, just give a shout

    Hey there.

    As JP mentioned. :slight_smile:

    I’ve done a search of your site and if the answer is here, it’s well and truly hidden.

    When any of our plugins are installed they inform you about the Dashboard, that’s the easiest way.

    But just like any WordPress plugin you can log in with FTP, remove the old files and upload the new. That’s all there is to WordPress and any plugin.

    It can be done with the file manager in cPanel as well, it’s similar to FTP in that way.

    Take care.
