Updating GP Premium on WP Multisite

[Steve]

I am using GP premium on a multisite network for the first time.
How do I get it to update?
On the Network admin site there is no visible way to enter the license key. Thus, when I go to update the plugin it fails.
I can enter the license key on one of the network sites, but then I can’t update the plugin from there, so that’s no help.

Hi Steve,

Check Tom’s reply here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-to-automatically-update-gp-premium-on-multisite/#post-364334

Let us know.

Oh!
That’s really not good.
So, to manually update the plugin at the network admin level, I have to delete it and then install the new version. What happens to the network sites that are using it when I delete it at the admin level? Will they lose the plugin while this is happening?
Thanks,
Steve

I do believe so, yes. However, all of your settings will remain once the plugin is reactivated.

Having this plugin activated allows you to simply re-upload the .zip like you did when you initially installed the plugin: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades/

That will make the process much faster, as a script does the removing/re-adding for you.

I was not able to update GP Premium from multisite section but when I updated GP Premium from my main site, GP was updated in all subdomains too!
In order to update GP Premium from main site click update notification in admin bar.

Oh!!!
I hadn’t realized that doing anything on the main site had any effect for the network. I haven’t tried anything there at all yet.
Thanks for the tip!

I found that plugin @Tom, now with the above tip I think I should be able to get this figured out 🙂

BTW, what forum software is this?

[Leo]

It’s using BBPress 🙂
