How to Update EventON
Last Updated: August 14, 2026
NOTE: Before any update, we highly recommend backing up your WordPress installation.
1.0 Method #1: Via auto-update
In order to get auto updates, you must activate your EventON copy in your website.
How to get new auto updates for eventON.
Go to Dashboard > Updates and click Check Again to run plugin update checker.
Go to Plugins> Installed Plugins if there is a new eventON update you should see it under the EventON plugin row.
Click Update Now to perform auto update.
2.0 Method #2: Manual Download from myeventon.com
Go to myeventon.com and sign into your account. Then head over to My Account. From left side menu select Downloads. From available downloads, click the .zip file under download column.
2.1 – FTP Way
Go into your FTP Client and navigate to ../wp-content/plugins/ folder in your website
Delete all the files inside EventON folder and replace with new files from the latest zip file you downloaded
Go to wp-admin Plugins> Installed Plugins and make sure the new version is updated on the site.
NOTE: You will NOT lose any saved settings by updating this way. As for styles and appearances, after updating via FTP go to myeventon settings and click save changes without making any changes to re-save styles and appearances. However we strongly advice, backing up database (in phpMyAdmin) and backing up and translation files inside /lang folder.
2.2 – Back-end Way
In order to install new EventON version from backend please follow these steps.
IMPORTANT! Before doing this: We highly recommend you backup phpmyadmin database and your website files in wp-content folder.
First, go into EventON settings and make sure “Delete eventon settings & data when EventON is uninstalled” is Deselected and then Save Changes.
WARNING! – When updating from EventON version 2.6.6 & 2.6.7 you must leave the above settings to NO (due to code error)! – If you are on EventON v2.6.8 or up (until 4+) this setting must be set to YES in order to keep already created events. From 4.0 you need to set this option to YES only if you want to delete EventON Settings and Events.
Next go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and Deactivate EventON. If you have EventON addons you will see EventON missing notifications popping up. At this moment, you can ignore these notifications.
Next Delete EventON from your site.
Once EventON is deleted, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and upload the downloaded EventON version zip file
Once uploaded, go back to Plugins > Installed Plugins and activate EventON.
