# Update The Plugin

{% hint style="info" %}
This manual is for those who bought the **Motors Pro** plugin from our [official website](https://r.freemius.com/16354/4723181/). If you purchased the Motors Pro plugin from **Deal platforms** (e.g.: DealFuel, AppSumo), you have to follow [**this manual**](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/motors-car-dealer-classifieds-and-listing/pro-plugin-deal-platforms#how-to-update-the-pro-plugin) to update the Pro plugin.
{% endhint %}

We constantly improve our products and release regular updates.  When you find out there is a new updated version, you need to update the plugin.

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

You can update the plugin in two different easy ways.

Firstly, go to **Plugins > Installed Plugins page,** there you will see the warning notification bar at the bottom. You have to update the plugins in the **following order**:

1. Motors – Car Dealer, Classifieds & Listing
2. Motors – Car Dealer, Classifieds & Listing **Pro**

Press the link <mark style="color:purple;">**update now**</mark> to update the plugin.

{% hint style="danger" %} <mark style="color:red;">**IMPORTANT**</mark>

Do **NOT** close the tab until you get the **Succes** or **Error** message. Closing the page while updating causes WordPress to move the **Maintenance mode** which makes your site **inaccessible.**&#x20;
