Updating Essentials

Essentials can be updated using the platform's update system. Whenever a new version is available, you will receive a notification in the platform dashboard. Before you can update, ensure that you have added your Essentials Download ID.

Download ID

An Essentials Download ID is a unique alphanumeric code generated for each website. It is required to update Essentials. You can find and manage your Download IDs in the Download IDs section of your account.

Once obtained, set it in your site, an action that slightly differs for each platform.

Joomla

Locate the ZOOlanders Installer Plugin and input the Download ID into it settings.

WordPress

Locate the ZOOlanders Settings Panel in Global Settings, then input the Download ID into it settings.

Upgrade to Premium

Upgrading from Essentials Freemium to the Premium version is straightforward. Simply install the premium package without uninstalling the freemium version. This manual upgrade process ensures that all your settings and data are retained. Once the upgrade is complete, future updates will be handled automatically.
