    It does have an activation hook to convert those items for you. I will make note that if you FTP you will need to deactivate and reactivate the plugin. This is assuming WP runs activation hooks when running auto upgrade. I will look into that part.

    Did that solve your problem?

    Activation does not fire when upgrading a plugin, it only fires when clicking Activate. This was changed in WP 3.1 (https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2010/10/27/plugin-activation-hooks-no-longer-fire-for-updates/)

    It is recommended to use an internal version constant stored in wp_options to know when updates occur.

    I will test and report back when I need to upgrade the next site, trying deactivate/activate. Thanks.

    Ok thanks for the information. I do use a constant in the plugin but I don’t check it outside of the activation hook. I’ll put that in the next update.
