WordPress’ plugin auto-updater is great, but it could still use a bit of work. When it auto-upgrades a plugin, it simply deletes the old plugin’s directory reather than trying to merge the old and new directories into one. This causes problems when we want to keep some of our old files and upgrade the rest. In order to retain Featurific Pro through the upgrade, first copy Featurific Pro (FeaturificFree.swf in the featurific-for-wordpress directory) to a safe location that is either outside of the plugin directory or on your local system. Next, auto-upgrade (or manually upgrade) the plugin. Finally, restore your version of Featurific Pro (FeaturificFree.swf) to the featurific-for-wordpress directory. At this point, the upgrade is complete and Featurific Pro should be installed.
