Automatic update from the WordPress dashboard#
It is possible to update Flexible Coupons plugins with one click directly from the WordPress dashboard, just like updating plugins downloaded from the WordPress.org repository. However, it requires a valid subscription and an active API key.
Navigate to the Plugins page in the WordPress dashboard to see a list of available updates.
To make sure that the installed plugin is always updated to the latest version, you can use the automatic update mechanism that has been built into WordPress since version 5.5. Just click the Enable auto-updates button in the plugin list to activate automatic updates.
To force a check for new plugin versions, please go to the Dashboard > Updates page and click the Check Again button.
