Kindly help to share the process how to update Amelia.
Recently I received an email about an new update and that needs to be downloaded, but I am not sure how exactly this can be done. Coz our website is already up and running and few bookings are to be made, I am worried if I need to uninstall and upload once again the plugin.
You can update the plugin manually by following these steps:
If you have version 2.9 please check if the option Delete plugin tables is disabled in Amelia -> Settings -> Activation before updating the plugin manually ( it is disabled by default, but just in case). If this option is enabled , deleting Amelia on the Plugins page will delete Amelia tables and data from the database as well. So if it is disabled you won't loose any data or settings in Amelia when you deactivate and delete Amelia on the Plugins page.
2) Delete Amelia plugin from WordPress Plugins page
3) Click on Add new on Plugins page
4) Click on Upload plugin on Plugins page
5) Choose previously downloaded ameliabooking zip file
6) When uploading is done, please Activate Amelia plugin
7) Clear server and browser cache.
Please note that our plugin have a size of around 8 MB so if yo are not able to upload the plugin through WordPress plugins page, then you need to increase following:
upload_max_file size,
post_max_size ,
max_execution_time
You should be able to find these values in your php.ini file or on your hosting panel. If you can't find it yourself please ask your hosting provider to provide it.
If you have any other questions or concerns don't hesitate to ask,
