Updating modules
Theoretical Introduction
We regularly implement changes in our modules to improve stability and security. Using outdated software versions makes the store vulnerable to errors. This applies to all components used by the store: modules, PHP, MySQL, and the PrestaShop engine itself.
Our modules are built from two key elements:
- Module Skeleton – responsible for licensing and module security.
- Logical Part of the Module – responsible for the module's functions and operation.
Updating – Module Skeleton
Updates to the module skeleton are always provided for free, regardless of which module version you have access to. Even if you do not have access to the latest module version, downloading a "fresh" module package from your PrestaShow account or performing a 1-click update in the module will update the module skeleton to the latest available version.
Updating – New Module Features
Access to updates for the logical part of the module, which includes new features, is paid. You can update the module to the latest version as long as your domain has an active support and update subscription. If your access expires, you can extend it at any time [here].tutaj.How to update: 1-Click Update
Before each update, we recommend creating a backup of your files and database.
Use the 1-click update method in your store – you will find it in the module's configuration:
How to update: Manually
However, sometimes, due to a custom configuration or server limitations, an error (e.g., 503) may occur during the 1-click update attempt. In such cases, follow these steps:- Download the module package from your account on PrestaShow.com.
- Log in to your PrestaShop admin panel.
- Go to the "Modules" section and upload the downloaded package using the "Upload Module" option – just as you would when installing a new module.
