This article will help you go through the process of updating any WHMCS module. Follow the steps presented below to complete a basic module's update. |
Update Instructions
1. In the beginning, please make a backup of your WHMCS files and database. |
2. Addon Modules Only: Log in to your WHMCS system admin area. Go to 'Settings' → 'Addon Modules' and deactivate the module you wish to update. |
3. Download the latest version of the module from our website. |
4. Remove all files of the old module version (except license.php file). |
5. Upload and extract the new files to your WHMCS root directory. They will overwrite the old files. |
6. Proceed to the module location and remove the 'license.php' file. Now, rename 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php' file and edit it by providing your module license. |
7. Remove all files from '\your_whmcs\template_c\' directory. |
8. (Addon Modules Only) Log in to your WHMCS system admin area. Go to 'Settings' → 'Addon Modules' and activate the recently updated module. |
Additional Guidance
It may happen, that after the update of a module, additional steps still have to be taken in order to ensure its proper functioning. If so, we advise you to check the module's documentation and see whether some additional actions are needed. |
In case of failure, return to the previous version of the module and report a problem. |
