A couple notes when upgrading from the Basic or Plus plan to the Secure plan.
You will receive a new .zip
plugin file (available in your Account area on a site). You must upload the new zip on top of the current version of the plugin before you activate the Premium Secure plan.
Any PDFs that you had previously uploaded to your site will need to be re-uploaded in order to have them placed in the new /wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/
folder on your server (folder will be created automatically with the first upload).
- You can move existing PDFs either by uploading again via the Add Media, or using FTP / your webhost’s File Manager to move the files.
- Additional steps to register the media files in the database after using FTP must be completed before the PDFs will appear in the Media library (tutorial article).
- Any shortcodes or blocks that you already added to your content will need to be updated with the new file URL (as the URL now has the
/securepdfs/
part).
There is a set up guide specific to the Secure version of the plugin here: https://wp-pdf.com/docs/secure-instructions/
