How to update the POP plugin

Goal

Update the POP plugin to the latest version without interrupting invoice generation.

Prerequisites

• Administrator access to wp-admin.
• Ideally, a staging environment mirroring the production site where you can test the update first.

Steps

1. Go to wp-admin > Plugins.
2. Find “POP – European e-invoicing compliance for e-commerce” (or “ex-WooPop”): if an update is available, WordPress flags it on the same row.
3. Click Update Now. WordPress downloads and replaces the plugin files while keeping the saved settings (options are stored in the database, not in the plugin files).
4. Once done, open POP → Electronic Invoice - Settings to check that the tabs open correctly and that the previously configured data (General, Numeration, Documents…) are still there.

Verify

• The version shown in wp-admin > Plugins (next to the plugin name) matches the downloaded release.
• Generate a test order (or one in sandbox) to confirm that XML and PDF are still produced correctly after the update.

Common errors

• A setting seems to have disappeared or changed after the update — check the changelog of the installed version before opening a ticket: some options get renamed or moved between tabs when the settings structure changes. See changelog/wordpress-plugin for where to find the release notes.
• Different behavior compared to before the update — check whether the changelog lists it as an intentional change before treating it as a bug.
• You want to postpone an important update — test it in staging first: universal compatibility with every combination of third-party themes/plugins installed on your store can’t be guaranteed.
