Why do I have a plugin that won't update with Modular?

Do you have a plugin on your WordPress site that resists updating through Modular? Don’t worry, we explain why this might be happening and how you can fix it.

Common reasons why a plugin won't update

• Plugin's own updater: Some plugins have their own update system integrated into the WordPress interface. This means they prefer to manage their updates independently and not through the standard WordPress updater or external tools like Modular.
• Paid license: If the plugin has a PRO license, you likely need an active one to access updates. Without this license, the update system will block any attempt to renew the plugin until it is validated.

Steps to resolve the issue

• For plugins with their own updater: Access your site's WordPress interface and look for the specific plugin's section. Usually, you’ll find an update option within its settings or its own control panel.
• For paid plugins: Ensure your license is active and correctly configured. You may need to enter the license code in the plugin settings within WordPress or renew your subscription if it has expired.

If the plugin still does not update after these steps, it might be helpful to review the plugin's documentation or contact its technical support for specific assistance.

Sometimes, update issues can be due to compatibility conflicts or specific errors within the plugin that the developer can help you resolve.
