# Updating Core Plugin

# Update from WordPress Admin Panel

Occasionally (or immediately after a theme update in some cases), you'll receive a reminder to update the Harizma Core Plugin. The reminder may look like this:

Notification across WordPress dashboard
Notification in Plugins -> Installed Plugins section
Notification in Dashboard -> Updates section

Since the core plugin is an essential part of the theme, you should always keep it up to date. Simply click Update now in the notification and wait until the update is complete.

# Offline Update

If the core plugin update fails for some reason, you can update it manually. Here are the steps to do this:

# ▶️ Step 1.

# ▶️ Step 3.

Upload the updated plugin archive into the Plugins section in your WordPress backend panel. Agree to replace the existing plugin version when prompted.
