    Hello, I am running the paid version of Strictly Auto Tags. When I upgraded the plugin from within WordPress, I got the following error message:

    The plugin strictlyautotags_paidversion/strictlyautotags.class.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.

    Is there preferred way to upgrade the paid version other than from within WordPress? I can download and re-install a plug-in manually but don’t know how to download the upgraded version 2.9.9.

    Many thanks!

    Hi

    Only the free version is hosted and controlled by WordPress’s system.

    The paid for version is a separate stand alone version where you must pay for it and copy the files by FTP to your server.

    Upgrading is not a possibility.

    As I only charge ￡40 for the paid for version there is no expectation or claim in the licence that someone paying for a version in 2012 for ￡40 can expect to get upgrades for the rest of the plugins life for free.

    If you want a new version of the paid for version you would need to pay for it.

    I have put a lot of work into the plugin and ￡40 is not a lot of money when your a web developer and your boss charges your services at ￡750 per day to clients so I need to do it this way to earn money from all the hundreds of hours I have and continue to put into this project.

    The free version gets bug fixes and some new functionality but will lag behind the paid for version by a long way.

    Re-Copy up the old paid for version you had by FTP and that should fix your problem. You can then do the manual fix that I told you about to get round the problem or pay for the new version that has the option to override it from the control panel.

    Thanks

    Rob

    Thank you for your message. I just purchased the previous version in November and thought there might be an upgrade window. Thanks for the clarification and the outstanding software.
