Keeping the WC Serial Numbers plugin up to date ensures optimal performance, compatibility, and security for your WooCommerce store. PluginEver frequently releases updates that include:

  • Security patches

Before You Update

Always back up your site (files and database) before updating plugins, especially premium ones.

While PluginEver thoroughly tests all updates, specific server environments or plugin conflicts can occasionally lead to issues. Having a backup in place ensures that you can quickly restore your site if anything goes wrong.

Update Methods

Option 1: Update via the WordPress Dashboard (Recommended)

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin panel.

Option 3: Update via FTP/SFTP (Developer Method)
