Getting Started: Installing The Update Manager

Enhanced Tools: Update, Backup, and Recovery

Plugin and Theme Tables: Complete Overview of Your Installed Plugins

Say goodbye to searching through your WordPress dashboard to find your purchases from 99Plugs! Our new plugin and theme tables allow you to see a complete overview of all your installed plugins and themes, with a small 99Plugs logo icon displayed next to the items from our site, making it a breeze to manage your premium plugins themes and ensuring you’re always up to date with the latest versions.

Backup Your Plugins and Themes Before Updating

You can now automatically back up your plugins and themes before updating them. This added layer of protection not only ensures that you won’t lose any customizations or important data during an update, but also provides a safety net in case there are issues with the updated version. Should you encounter any problems, you can quickly revert back to the previous version in just a few clicks, allowing you to maintain your site’s functionality until the issue is resolved. You can find the backup settings in the 99Plugs Update Manager under the Settings tab.

Rollback Feature: Restore Previous Versions of Plugins and Themes

Ever updated a plugin or theme only to find out that it causes an issue with your site? Worry no more! Our new rollback feature allows you to easily restore a previously backed-up version of your plugin or theme, minimizing downtime and keeping your site running smoothly until the issue is resolved.

Fallback Update System: Taking Updates to the Next Level

In rare cases, some plugins and themes may override the normal WordPress update process, preventing them from being updated through the standard method. To address this, we’ve developed a fallback update system that allows you to bypass this and update your premium plugins and themes directly from within the 99Plugs Update Manager.
