Updating Modules

We regularly release updates for our modules: adding new features, fixing found bugs, and improving compatibility with new PHP versions and templates.

How to correctly update a module?

Updating modules in OpenCart is a safe process if you follow a simple instruction. Your settings will not be deleted, as they are stored in the store's database, and the update only affects the module files.

Step 1. Downloading the new version

Go to the resource where you purchased the module (OpencartForum, OpencartCode) and download the latest version of the archive.

Step 2. Installing over the old version

1. Go to Extensions → Installer.
2. Click Upload and select the downloaded .ocmod.zip file of the new version.
3. The system will warn you that the files already exist and will be overwritten. Agree. The new files will replace the old ones.

Step 3. Updating modifications (Mandatory!)

1. Go to Extensions → Modifications.
2. Click Clear (orange button).
3. Click Refresh (blue button).

Step 4. Verification

Go to the module settings. Click the "Save" button to update the database structure (if new settings fields were added in the new version).

Important

If the module requires a template adaptation file (the Adaptation folder), you need to re-upload it in the same way after installing the main file update!
