How to Update the OptinMonster WordPress Plugin

Keeping the OptinMonster plugin updated to the most current version ensures you have the latest features, fewest bugs, and smoothest experience.

In this article, you’ll learn how to update the OptinMonster plugin for WordPress.

Before You Begin

Here are some things to know before you begin:

  • We always suggest making a complete back-up of your website’s files and database. This is considered a best practice before updating any plugins on your site.
  • If your update is not showing but you know there is an update, refresh your page a couple times to flush out the cache.
  • For a step-by-step guide to updating WordPress plugins, see WPBeginner’s Guide on Updating WordPress Plugins.
  • Refer to the OptinMonster plugin changelog for details on each release.

Update Plugin

To update the OptinMonster plugin for WordPress, follow these steps:

  1. In the WordPress admin, navigate to the Plugins screen from the sidebar menu.
  2. Scroll down to the OptinMonster API plugin. If an available update appears, select the Update link to automatically update the plugin.

Note:

If you haven’t backed up your site before this step we recommend you stop and back up your site before updating any plugins.

OptinMonster has transformed our business. Before integrating their optins, our clients saw a 2% conversion rate from web traffic, which is slightly above the standard for their industry. With the integration of OptinMonster’s lightbox popup, exit-intent technology, split testing, and other tools, our client’s conversion rates soared by an unprecedented 500%. They attracted substantially more customers while spending less on digital advertising. Their success propelled them to the top of their markets, outperforming national chains and other medical spas with much bigger marketing budgets. Our client’s success in their market has distinguished us in our own. We are now one of the most sought-after marketing firms in the industry of aesthetic medicine. We know that the integration of OptinMonster, more than any other tool or marketing strategy, has supported this growth and achievement.

Through OptinMonster’s exit-intent popups, we have more than doubled our sales conversion rate. Best of all is the compound effect of using OptinMonster over a long period of time—more conversions mean more customers, which means more word of mouth.
