Why do I see an update notice for the plugin when I’m using the latest free version?

If you're using the latest free version of our plugin and are hosted on WP Engine with Smart Plugin Manager enabled, you might see a false update notice for the paid plugin. This notice is incorrect and does not mean there’s a new version available for the free plugin.

Why is this happening?

WP Engine’s Smart Plugin Manager occasionally misidentifies the paid plugin as an update for the free plugin. This is due to how it scans and compares plugins, even when they are separate products.

What should I do?

You can safely ignore the update notice if:

  • You are using the free plugin (downloaded from WordPress.org).
  • You have not purchased or installed the paid version.
