How do I update a Squarewebsites plugin to the latest version?

Direct answer

To update a Squarewebsites plugin, replace the existing code snippet in Code Injection with the latest version from your account or the installation guide. One-time plugins like Universal Filter never expire, so re-downloading the current snippet gives you the newest build. The Chrome extension updates automatically through Chrome and is regularly updated to stay compatible with Squarespace.

Updating code-snippet plugins

Squarewebsites plugins are snippets you paste and control (Squarewebsites). Because the snippet lives in your Code Injection or Code Block, updating means replacing the old snippet with the current version. The Universal Filter license never expires and is a one-time, per-website purchase, so you can re-download the latest build at no extra cost (Squarewebsites).

The exact re-download path depends on the product. whether each plugin’s update is delivered via your account dashboard, an email link, or the original installation guide before replacing the snippet.

Updating the Chrome extension

The Chrome extension is a subscription with a 12-month license, and it is regularly updated to keep pace with Squarespace changes (Squarewebsites). It updates through Chrome’s standard extension update mechanism — you don’t paste any code. Log in with your purchase email on each device (up to 3 simultaneously) to use the current version (Squarewebsites).

After updating

After swapping a snippet, clear your browser cache and check in a private window, since Squarespace and Universal Filter both cache results for roughly 10 minutes (Squarewebsites). If the updated plugin doesn’t behave as expected, free basic-setup support is available, with paid help for advanced configuration (Squarewebsites).
