Hi,
I’m new to WordPress and hosted on Wp-Engine right now. I noticed that Wp-Engine cannot update a couple of my plugins and after taking a peak, it seems like I will have to update these plugins myself manually because they are free versions and to get direct updates it requires a license key.
I have the .zip file of the updated version, but the first attempt I made at “add plugins” ended up creating a second copy of each plugin rather than updating the original installation. How do I update the plugins properly without messing with anything that can potentially break my website. The plugins are for WooCommerce products etc.

*”because they are free versions and to get direct updates it requires a license key”* – it’s unusual for a free plugin to require a license key – typically that’s for paid/premium plugins. What plugins do this? Are you using nulled plugins?
Updating a plugin won’t break your website.
