Manually updating the Reviews Feed Pro Plugin

If you’re experiencing an issue updating the plugin via your WordPress Plugins page then you can manually update the Reviews Feed plugin in one of three ways.

Manually Update via the WordPress Add Plugins page (WordPress 5.5+)

With the WordPress 5.5 update, it is now possible to upload plugin files on the plugins page without first uninstalling the plugin.

  1. Download the latest version of the Reviews Feed plugin from your Account
  2. Upload it via your WordPress Plugins page by clicking on ‘Add New’ > ‘Upload Plugin’
  3. Click Install
  4. Click Replace current with uploaded

Uninstall and Reinstall (WordPress 5.4 and below)

  1. Go to WordPress Dashboard > Review Feed > Settings, enable the option which says ‘Preserve Settings when plugin is removed’, and click Save Changes
  2. Uninstall the plugin
  3. Download the latest version of the Reviews Feed plugin from your Account (or use the .zip file from a support rep if applies)
  4. Upload it via your WordPress Plugins page by clicking on ‘Add New’ > ‘Upload Plugin’

Replace the files via FTP

If you have FTP access to your website then you can update the plugin by simply replacing the old plugin files with the new files:

  1. Download the latest version of the plugin from your Account and unzip the file
  2. Use your FTP client to log into your site and locate the plugin files. These are usually in wp-content/plugins/reviews-feed
  3. Upload and replace the files
