Automatic Updates
SubscriptionFlow keeps itself up to date automatically — delivering fixes and improvements the same way WordPress updates any other plugin.
On this page
What this does
When a new version of SubscriptionFlow is released, your site is notified automatically. You’ll see the familiar “update available” prompt on the Plugins page and can update with one click — no manual re‑uploading of ZIP files.
Why it exists: to make sure every site — free or paid — always has the latest security fixes, compatibility updates, and features.
Important: updates are license‑independent. Your license controls which features are unlocked, not whether you receive updates. Even on the Free plan, you get updates.
How to update
Automatic notice
- Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
- When an update is available, you’ll see an update notice under SubscriptionFlow.
- Click Update now.
Or via the Updates screen
Go to Dashboard → Updates to update SubscriptionFlow along with your other plugins.
Forcing a check
Check Again on Dashboard → Updates reaches the licence server every time, so you never have to wait out a cache to see a newly published version.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Keep updates enabled. They deliver security and compatibility fixes that keep your store healthy.
-
Back up before major updates. A quick backup before updating any plugin on a live store is always wise.
-
Update in a quiet period if you run a busy store, so you can verify everything after.
-
Read the release notes. Check what changed — see Release Notes and Changelog.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a license to get updates?
No. Updates are available on both Free and Pro. A license unlocks features, not updates.
How will I know an update is available?
You’ll see the standard WordPress update notice on the Plugins and Updates screens.
Will updating change my settings or data?
No. Updates preserve your subscriptions, licenses, plans, and settings.
Can I update automatically without clicking?
You can enable WordPress auto‑updates for the plugin on the Plugins page if you prefer fully hands‑off updates.
What if an update doesn’t appear?
Give WordPress a little time to check, or use Check Again on the Updates screen, which always reaches the licence server. If it still doesn’t show, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
Is it safe to update on a live store?
Yes, though backing up first and updating during a quiet period is best practice for any plugin.
