This plugin is a must-have for any store which sells downloadable products such as e-books, courses, software, etc. It takes away the tedious task of manually searching for all buyers of a downloadable product and then manually sending them an email about a new update to the product.

How to update the plugin

  1. Install the Easy Theme & Plugin Upgrades plugin on your WordPress website. You can download it from the plugins area on your website or download it from here.

  2. Download WCDPUE from your CodeCanyon downloads area and install it on your website. The old version of the plugin will automatically be replaced with the new version.
