Most people prefer to have a test WordPress installed in one of the sub-directories (you can install it in a sub-domain too). This way if you face an issue due to the upgrade, you can report it to us and while we work on it, your main site won&#8217;t be affected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; padding: 0px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Important Note 2:<\/strong><\/span> Some people have this bad habit of keeping multiple copies of the same plugin in the &#8220;plugins&#8221; directory. This is the source of many problems. Please note that you should only have one version of any WordPress\u00a0plugin in the plugins directory. If you want to keep backups, then you can keep it in your &#8220;uploads&#8221; directory or on your\u00a0computer&#8217;s hard drive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; padding: 0px;\">With that said, please follow the instructions below when upgrading the WordPress eMember plugin from an older version to a newer version:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>Preparation<\/strong>: This is optional (unless you have made custom modifications) but it is a good idea to keep a backup of the currently installed version before you upgrade to the latest version.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Deactivate<\/strong> the currently installed\u00a0version of the &#8220;WP eMember&#8221; plugin from the Plugins menu.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delete<\/strong> the current version of the WP eMember plugin from the Plugins menu.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upload<\/strong> the new version\u00a0of the\u00a0plugin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Activate<\/strong> the newly uploaded plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Video Tutorial<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Upgrading the WP eMember plugin\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W01Yi4YCw2g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Installing and Upgrading WordPress eMember plugin is very easy.
