WordPress Plugin Maintenance

Updating Plugins

For some licensed plugins, updates need to be obtained from their sites and manually uploaded.

WPBakery

To update WPBakery:

  • Go to the WPBakery account page
  • Log In with credentials in BitWarden.  (Account email is tcurley@cores.utah.edu.)
  • Navigate to Downloads
  • Download the latest zip and upload it to the CIHD WP Admin plugin page
  • Make sure to 'Network Activate' the plugin so it can be used for both sites.

Newsletter Add-Ons

The Newsletter plugin allows for maintaining subscribers and email lists along with automatic and one-off email sending. The main Newsletter plugin should be able to be updated via the regular plugins page. But the Addons (seen in screen shot below) require manual updating.
