WP PowerSuite updates as two plugins when Pro is installed:
| Plugin | Updates from |
|---|---|
| WP PowerSuite (free) | wordpress.org (Plugins screen / automatic updates) |
| WP PowerSuite Pro | wppowersuite.com (requires WP PowerSuite Pro for downloadable updates) |
wordpress.org updates never overwrite Pro. Keep both plugins installed.
Before you update
Section titled “Before you update”- Take a backup (files + database), or use your host’s snapshot.
- Prefer updating on staging first for production sites with many modules enabled.
- Note any custom login URL, maintenance mode, or SMTP settings so you can re-test them.
After you update
Section titled “After you update”- Confirm both plugin versions under Plugins (free and Pro, if installed).
- Spot-check critical modules you rely on (login URL, SMTP, security headers, forms).
- Clear any full-page cache if the front end looks stale.
If an update misbehaves
Section titled “If an update misbehaves”- Roll back the plugin that caused the issue (free or Pro) if needed.
- Disable the last module you changed.
- See Troubleshooting.
