Upgrading

To upgrade using Install & Upgrade, please refer to the Install & Upgrade documentation.

PHP needs the same write permissions as under Install, or remote plugin & theme have to be updated manually.

Manual

  1. Your first step is to download the add-on from your customer area. Once you download, save the .zip file somewhere you are familiar with.

  3. After you have uploaded the files you will need to navigate to the Add-ons section within your XenForo admin panel. Here you will see it listed under "Upgradeable add-ons". Just click Upgrade!
