Installing and keeping the WordPress plugins up to date

How to install/update

Auto-Update via Envato Market plugin (Recommended)

The best and easiest way to keep all of your plugins from the envato marketplace (codecanyon, themeforest) updated, is to use the official Envato Market WordPress plugin. Just download and install the plugin, connect your envato account and you can easily update all plugins and themes.

Note: You need to delete the plugin first before you can install/update it via the Envato Market plugin. No data will be lost.


Manually (Not Recommended)

We do not recommend this method, because you'll not receive any update notifications. You also might get an error when uploading the plugin ("The link you followed has expired"), this tutorial explains how to fix it.


Via FTP tool: Just replace the fancy-product-designer folder.

Via WP admin: Deactivate the plugin and delete it. Then upload new zip and activate the plugin again.

In both cases you will not loose any of your created products and settings.


PRO Export add-on

The PRO export add-on is exclusively sold via our payment provider elopage.com. Once you purchased the add-on, you'll receive a download link in the mail to receive the add-on. All updates are available though this download link. The add-on can only be installed/updated manually. You can not install/update the export add-on via the Envato Market plugin!

If you forgot your password to access your elopage account, you can easily reset the password on elopage.com
