Paid Memberships Pro v3.3 has just been released. This is a relatively minor update, with a few enhancements and bug fixes. At the same time, this a very big update.
Downloads and Updates
This is the first update of the core Paid Memberships Pro plugin that will be served off our own license server instead of the wordpress.org repository. We have been serving our premium plugins and several of our free plugins from our own license server for many years. We will now be serving downloads and updates of our core plugin ourselves. We plan to follow suit for all of our plugins that are hosted at wordpress.org, excepting a few that are co-maintained with other folks there.
The core plugin is still free and users will always be able to update it for free. No account or license key is required to update.
You should be able to update from the Updates or Plugins page of your WordPress dashboard as you always have. Make sure the core Paid Memberships Pro plugin is active and click the “check again” link on the Updates page if you don’t see the update in the list.
Or, you can manually update Paid Memberships Pro by following these steps:
- Download the latest zip of the plugin.
- Log in to your site.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add new.
- Upload the zip file.
- Confirm you want to overwrite the existing Paid Memberships Pro plugin.
That’s it. By uploading a .zip file of a plugin that is already active in your site, the uploader will simply overwrite the outdated version. The plugin will not be deactivate and your membership site functionality will not be interrupted.
If you have issues updating, try the Update Manager or reach out to us.
Our goal was to make this transition as seamless as possible, but unforeseen things may come up for certain sites and hosts and systems running PMPro. Folks can reach out to us through our contact form, our premium support, or through our community Slack.
There is a lot more to say, and Kim and I will answer any questions you have. Our focus is on serving our users and customers first. Thanks for your continued support.
Install the Update Manager Add On
On October 18, 2024, we released a new Update Manager Add On.
The Paid Memberships Pro Update Manager offers the peace of mind to know that the core PMPro plugin and all Add Ons in our ecosystem will only be downloaded and updated from the official Paid Memberships Pro license server.
This Add On is not required for you to update your site to v3.3 or to continue to update other free and premium Add Ons.
That said, this plugin is very important to have active in your Paid Memberships Pro site. We are encouraging all users to install and activate the Update Manager. This plugin protects your site from unauthorized updates to the official open source code offered by Paid Memberships Pro.
Any illegitimate code will not be accepted for download or update.
This Add On has no settings. After activation, you can be sure that all of our ecosystem Add Ons as well as the core Paid Memberships Pro plugin will only be served from the official, trusted source: the Paid Memberships Pro license server.
