As of May 12, 2026, Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress will transition to Freemius for license management. To continue receiving automatic updates, existing CodeCanyon users must migrate their license—this process is free and ensures you retain lifetime updates and support under a new Freemius license. Even if you choose not to migrate, you will not lose support and can still manually update the plugin by downloading the latest version from your CodeCanyon profile.
You have two options to install the Freemius version:
Option 1: Upload and overwrite directly
Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
Upload the Freemius plugin ZIP
When prompted, choose to overwrite the existing version
Option 2: Deactivate and delete old version first
Deactivate and delete the existing CodeCanyon version from your WordPress Plugins panel
Install the Freemius version via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
✅ No matter which method you choose, all your plugin settings and configurations will remain intact. Activate the plugin and enter your new Freemius license key to start receiving updates.
If you choose not to migrate your license, you will no longer get automatic updates via your WordPress dashboard (if your license is eligible for that). Furthermore, future features of Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress may not work as expected.
While you can migrate at any time without losing access to the plugin, we highly recommend converting your license as soon as possible.
Migration is free, and while you can migrate at any time, we strongly recommend completing it as soon as possible to maintain full access and benefits.
