Generally, you should be able to update all you Fatcat Apps plugins from your WP Admin panel. We try to avoid this as much as possible, but sometimes we make changes to our plugins that require manual updates. Also, in some cases, people have to manually update due to other issues.
Before you Begin:
If you’re running an Optin Cat Business or Elite earlier than 1.5.4, you must follow these manual plugin update instructions once to make sure you’re current.
Downloading the Updated Version
1. Log into your account here.
2. Under purchase history, click “View Details and Downloads”.

5. Log in to your site’s WordPress admin (e.g. www.mysite.com/wp-admin).
6. Click on the “Plugins” tab in the left panel, then proceed to deactivate and delete the older version of your plugin.
