If you already use the free edition, complete the following steps to install and activate the Pro edition.
Step 1: Preserve data
The data you have built with the free edition will get deleted, when you uninstall the plugin. However, the data of the free edition is compatible with the Pro edition. And, you can keep this data so that the Pro edition builds on it.
Therefore, if you intend to keep the existing data, visit the settings page of the plugin, to enable the “Preserve data, if plugin is uninstalled” option (before you unistall the free edition). See the Configuration and Settings section for details.
Step 2: Uninstall the free edition
- Login into your WordPress website with an admin account.
- Go to Plugins => Installed Plugins.
- Click deactivate under the plugin.
- Click delete under the plugin, to delete the free edition.
Step 3: Install the Pro edition
- First, you need to obtain the Pro edition by completing all the steps in the Download the Pro edition page.
- Then, login into your WordPress website with an admin account.
- Go to Plugins => Add New.
- Complete the steps in How to Install the Pro Version.
- After completing installation, you may continue to the next sections to customise various areas of your website.
Note that, upon upgrading to Pro edition, several settings of the free edition will remain functional and relevant. These include Wishlist settings and Product Comparison settings.
