SlidePress consists of two components. One, the WordPress plugin, and two, the SlideShowPro player.
When new versions of the WordPress plugin are made available, you will be notified in the "Plugins" section of the WordPress control panel. From there you will have the option to automatically upgrade your plugin or download the files to manually update yourself.
For the majority of users, we recommend choosing the automatic option. Simply click on the "Upgrade" text link presented to you in the "Plugins" section and WordPress will take care of the rest.
1) Backup your plugins/slidepress directory by either duplicating it or placing a copy on your desktop.
2) Visit the "Plugins" area of WordPress and deactivate SlidePress by clicking its "Deactivate" text link.
3) Overwrite all of the files in the wp-content/plugins/slidepress directory with the new plugin you downloaded.
4) When finished, return to the "Plugins" area and activate SlidePress.
Unlike the WordPress plugin, the SlideShowPro player can only be updated manually. New releases of SlideShowPro Standalone will be announced through our site news as well as our monthly email newsletter.
1) Visit the Account Center and download the latest version of SlideShowPro Standalone. Unpack the ZIP.
2) Navigate to "wp-content/uploads/slidepress/flash" in your WordPress installation and overwrite the "slideshowpro.swf" document that's there with the "slideshowpro.swf" file in the "Embed" directory of the ZIP you unpacked.
