Premium version expired; cannot update basic version without renewing add-ons?

    Hello,

    Is it possible to update the free Updraft Plus Backup and Restoration plugin without renewing the add-ons? My detailed situation is described below.

    I previously purchased UpdraftPlus Premium, and it has since expired. I do not wish to renew my purchase of the premium version, since I no longer have a need for the add-ons. However, I would like to update the free Updraft Plus Backup and Restoration plugin.

    When I click “Check for updates” in my WP admin dashboard, I receive a message saying “plugin is up to date,” but I can see from the version number that I’m running an older version. I also see the message “Your paid access … has expired. You will no longer receive updates to UpdraftPlus.”

    I considered deleting the basic Backup and Restoration plugin and then reinstalling the newest version, but it took some time for me to get the settings right when I initially installed the plugin, and I do not want to break it now that it’s working.

    If I cannot restore the free functionality without renewing the paid version, then must I renew the full UpdraftPlus Premium (including all add-ons) again, or would it be enough to simply purchase a single add-on?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,

    Just de-activate and de-install UpdraftPlus, and then re-install and activate the free version. Your settings and backups will be retained.

    Best wishes,

    I have been working on renewing my WordPress premium account all day and it all results in not being able to sign in with a verification code. I did have to download Authenticator again (new phone). I then tried the 2 step verification and that’s where it all started…

    When clicking to renew in the email I received I am routed to my sign-in for my WordPress page. I have set this up to automatically fill with username and password. I can sign in, however, after signing in I go to enter the verification code and each time it tells me it’s invalid.

    I may have set the Authenticator to an incorrect account, however, I would assume it should be my WordPress account name – silencingyournoise.wordpress.com

    How can I set up a new verification code so I can renew my account. I’m getting nervous because my account expires today. Yikes

    @silencethenoisetoday: did you mean to post that here? This is a forum for the free version of UpdraftPlus, a backup/restore plugin for WordPress – there’s nobody in this forum who will be able to say anything about wordpress.com accounts.

    Best wishes,
    David
