Automatic update from the WordPress dashboard#

It is possible to update Flexible Coupons plugins with one click and directly from the WordPress dashboard - just like updating plugins downloaded from the WordPress.org repository. But it requires a valid subscription and 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 will always be in the latest version - it is possible to 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.

The Enable auto-updates button will be available if there is an option to update the Flexible Coupons plugins in the list of plugins.

To force a check for new plugin versions - please go to the Dashboard > Updates page and click the Check Again button.
