How to update from the old CodeCanyon version

Use this guide if you purchased WP Cost Estimation on CodeCanyon and want to move an existing WordPress site to the current official version.

The update is mainly a plugin-file replacement workflow, but production sites deserve a careful backup and staging check before files are changed.

1. Confirm who this guide is for

This is for previous CodeCanyon customers who already have WP Cost Estimation installed and want the current official version with direct updates, support, premium components and AI features.

2. Back up the site first

Create a full backup of the WordPress files and database before replacing plugin files. This matters because forms, submissions, settings and orders are stored in the WordPress database.

3. Test on staging when the site is important

Use a staging copy first for client sites, high-traffic sites, payment forms, booking workflows or any form that affects revenue.

4. Replace or update the plugin files

Install the current official version from the official purchase or account flow. Avoid downloading plugin files from mirrors or old marketplace copies.

5. Check forms, submissions and payments

Existing forms and submissions should be preserved, but verify the forms list, front-end rendering, conditional logic, calculations, emails, PDFs and payment steps before publishing changes.

6. Ask support if you are unsure

If you manage a production site or client project and are unsure about the update path, open the site chat before replacing files.
