⬆️ Auto-Updater And Update Notices

WP Conversion Tracker AI and its add-ons use the normal WordPress update system, so there is no separate updater to learn and no zip files to juggle for routine releases.

Updating Step By Step:

1. In WordPress, go to Dashboard, then Updates, or open the Plugins screen.
2. WP Conversion Tracker AI shows an update action when a new version is available.
3. Click Update Now. The new version installs in place, and your links, clicks and settings stay exactly as they were.

The Update Notice:

When an update is waiting, a notice appears on the main WordPress Dashboard, the Plugins screen, the Updates screen and every WPC Tracker screen. It says which version you are on and which version is available, with an Update Now button.

Snoozing The Notice:

If now is not a good moment, click Snooze for 7 days. The notice goes away for a week and then returns. The snooze is per user, so colleagues still see it.

Checking For Updates Right Now:

To keep wp-admin quick, update checks are remembered for a while, and WordPress checks every 12 hours by default. To check straight away:

1. Click ⚙️ Settings, then ⚙️ Settings in the menu.
2. In 🔄 Plugin Updates, click 🔄 Check For Updates Now.

The Dashboard, then Updates screen in WordPress also checks afresh each time you open it.

Add-Ons Update The Same Way:

Each add-on has its own update checker and appears on the Plugins screen next to the core plugin. They are separate plugins, so they can be on different version numbers, which is normal.

Update The Core Plugin First:

When you update several pieces at once, update WP Conversion Tracker AI before the add-ons. Add-ons check that the core plugin is present and recent enough, and show a short notice asking you to update the core plugin when it is not.

Safe Installs:

Every update package is checked to be the right plugin before WordPress installs it. Updates come through your licence, so keep your licence active on the site. See License Activation And Management.

If Two Copies Are Ever Active:

If a second copy of the plugin folder becomes active, for example after uploading a zip into a new folder instead of replacing the old one, the plugin loads only one copy and shows a notice. Go to the Plugins screen, find the second WP Conversion Tracker AI row, the one whose folder is not named exactly wp-conversion-tracker, deactivate it and delete it.

If An Update Does Not Appear:

• Click 🔄 Check For Updates Now in Settings.
• If your site is behind Cloudflare, run the Cloudflare check on 🩺 Diagnostics, because the same rules that let sale notifications through also let update downloads through. See Diagnostics And Cloudflare Checks.
• Ask your host to allow outbound HTTPS requests if they limit them.

Seeing What Changed:

The Plugins screen has a details link for each release, so you can read what a version contains before you update.

A Real Example:

On Monday the owner of yoursite.com sees the update notice on the WordPress Dashboard but is in the middle of a launch, so they click Snooze for 7 days. On Thursday, with the launch done, they open Dashboard, then Updates, update WP Conversion Tracker AI first, then Pro Tools and the Audience Vault, and check the 📊 Dashboard to confirm everything looks as before.

Tips:

• Update outside of a big send or launch, so you can check everything calmly.
• See Add-On Plugins Overview for the full list of add-ons.
