How To Update WHMCS Module

This article will help you go through the process of updating of a WHMCS module.

Proceed with steps shown below to complete a basic update.
We will also list additional steps which may be needed.

Basic Update

1. At the beginning, please make a backup of your server.
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.
Recommended, but omit this step, if you do not want to lose your module settings.

3. Download the latest version of a module from our website.
4. Upload and extract files to your WHMCS root directory. This will overwrite old files.
5. Remove all files from '\your_whmcs\template_c\' directory.
6. (Addon Modules Only) Log in to your WHMCS system admin area.

Go to 'Settings' 'Addon Modules' and activate the recently updated module.

Optional Actions Needed

It may happen, that after update of module it still causes a lot of error.

If so, we advice to check the module's wiki article and check whether additional actions are needed.
Especially look for:
1. Folders which need specific chmods.
2. Earlier settings of chmods which got overwritten.
3. New cron job added or old cron job removed.
4. Use of migration tool needed to import settings from earlier version.
5. Settings removed during the update.
6. Additional steps listed in the installation instruction.

In case of failure, return to the previous version of the module and report a problem.
