How Do I Update the Feedspace WordPress Plugin?

Overview

Keeping the Feedspace WordPress plugin up to date ensures you always have the latest widget compatibility improvements and security fixes. You can update the plugin in two ways: by enabling automatic updates or by applying a manual update when a new version is available. Your settings and Widget ID are preserved after any update.

Method 1: Enable Auto-Updates

Auto-updates let WordPress install new plugin versions in the background without any action on your part. Follow these steps to turn them on:

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Go to Plugins and click Installed Plugins.
3. Find the Feedspace plugin in the list.
4. In the Automatic Updates column on the right, click Enable auto-updates.

WordPress will now update the Feedspace plugin automatically whenever a new version is released. No further action is needed.

Method 2: Manual Update

If you prefer to control when updates are applied, you can update the plugin manually. WordPress notifies you as soon as a new version is available.

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Go to Plugins and click Installed Plugins.
3. Find the Feedspace plugin. When a new version is available, a notification appears below the plugin name showing the version number and release details.
4. Click Update Now in the notification.
5. WordPress downloads and installs the latest version. The page refreshes automatically once the update is complete.

What Happens After an Update?

Updating the plugin does not affect your existing configuration. The following are preserved:

• Your Widget ID and any shortcode or block settings you have configured.
• All previously embedded widgets on your pages and posts.

Best Practice: Keep the Plugin Updated

It is recommended to always run the latest version of the Feedspace WordPress plugin. Updates include:

• Widget compatibility: Ensures your embedded Feedspace widgets display correctly with the latest widget styles and features.
• Security fixes: Patches any vulnerabilities to keep your WordPress site protected.
• Bug fixes and performance improvements: Delivers a smoother experience for visitors viewing your testimonials.

Enabling auto-updates is the easiest way to stay current without having to check for new releases manually.
