# Update The Plugin

We continuously enhance our products and release regular updates, so it's important to keep your plugins up to date. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Both **Free** and **Pro** versions follow the same steps in updating the plugin.
{% endhint %}

## How to Update the Plugin

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Follow **WP Dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins:**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Check for Update Notifications. If a new version is available, a notification bar will appear below the [**CCFBW**](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] plugin informing you of the update. Click on the <kbd>Update Now</kbd> button:

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="danger" %}

#### IMPORTANT

Do **NOT** close the tab until you get the **Success** or **Error** message. Closing the page while updating causes WordPress to move the **Maintenance mode** which makes your site **inaccessible.**
{% endhint %}

By following these steps, you can ensure your [**CCFBW**](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] plugin remains up-to-date while minimizing the risk of critical errors. If you need any assistance, please[ visit our support forum.](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/checkout-custom-fields-builder-for-woocommerce/)

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Preventing Automatic Updates

To avoid potential critical errors after updates, it is recommended to disable automatic plugin updates. Despite our thorough testing, unforeseen issues may still occur.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/checkout-custom-fields-builder-for-woocommerce/getting-started/update-the-plugin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
