Updating the bundled plugins

Update WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution when a Goodnews release includes a new version.

WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution are bundled with Goodnews rather than distributed through the WordPress plugin directory, so WordPress cannot check for their updates on its own. A new version of either plugin arrives inside a new Goodnews release.

Updating a bundled plugin

  1. Update Goodnews itself first — see Updating Goodnews. The new plugin version is inside the new theme package.
  2. Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
  3. Deactivate the plugin you want to update.
  4. Delete it.
  5. Go to Appearance → Install Plugins and install it again — this installs the version that shipped with your current Goodnews version.
  6. Activate it.

See Installing the bundled plugins for the full list of what ships with Goodnews and which are required.
