Updates

As is inevitable with any plugin there will eventually be updates available. Whether to fix a bug or to introduce new features.

Due to this plugin not being available via the WordPress plugins directory automatic updates will not work. You can update the plugin in two ways.

Via the WordPress Dashboard:

  1. Download the updated plugin ZIP file.
  2. The file contains two more ZIP files. One is the Zed Press plugin, the other is the converter plugin for those that used the old Z Store plugin. Unzip those to a folder on your computer, like the Desktop.
  3. Log into your WordPress website and go to Plugins -> Installed Plugins via the menu.
  4. Deactivate and the Delete the Zed Press plugin. Do not worry all your options and shortcodes will remain intact.
  5. After the plugin is deleted got to Plugins -> Add New and click the 'Upload Plugin' button at the top of the page.
  6. Press the 'Choose File' button and select the Zed Press Install ZIP file.
  7. Activate the plugin then go to the Zed Press options page and hit 'Save' to make sure the options are updated and to clear the file cache.

Via SFTP:

  1. Download the updated plugin ZIP file.
  2. The file contains two more ZIP files. One is the Zed Press plugin, the other is the converter plugin for those that used the old Z Store plugin. Unzip those to a folder on your computer, like the Desktop.
  3. Login to your webserver using SFTP. Navigate to the plugins folder.
  4. Delete the Zed Press folder.
  5. Upload the contents of the Zed Press Install ZIP file to the plugins folder.
  6. Go to the WordPress Admin, the Zed Press options page and hit 'Save'. This will clear the file cache and make sure the options are updated.

Note: Auto updates are planned to be added in the next version. While installation will still need to be done manually you will be able to update using WordPress' built in automatic update system.
