Updating from version 1.x
Version 2.0 is a single, free plugin. This page covers what changed, what happens to your existing work, and how to clean up old copies safely.
What changed
- One plugin, no more Lite and Pro. The old Lite and Pro split is retired. There is one plugin now.
- No license keys. The old license system is gone. Every node type is free to run in Local mode with your own AI provider key (BYOK).
- Optional Cloud. A new, optional cloud service lets you run workflows without managing keys or worrying about PHP timeouts, metered in credits. It is entirely optional. See Local vs Cloud execution.
For the full list of new features, see What changed in 2.0.
Your workflows and settings are preserved
Your workflows, node settings, API keys, and run history live in your WordPress database, not in the plugin folder. Updating the plugin does not touch them, so everything you built in 1.x is still there after you update.
Old Lite and Pro copies deactivate automatically
If an old Lite or Pro copy is still active when the new version loads, the plugin deactivates the old copy automatically to prevent a fatal “cannot redeclare class” error. You will see a one-time admin notice confirming this, and your workflows and settings stay intact.
It is safe to delete the old plugin
Once the old Lite or Pro copy is deactivated, you can safely delete it from the Plugins screen. There is no separate uninstall step to worry about: your data lives in the database, so removing the old plugin folder does not remove your workflows or settings.
1.x license holders get credits
If you held a 1.x license, it is automatically migrated to monthly credits when you connect a free account. There are no manual steps. See Your account and credits.
Now on WordPress.org
AI Workflow Automation is now distributed through WordPress.org. If you installed an earlier copy from outside WordPress.org, you may see a one-time notice offering to switch you to the WordPress.org version so you get automatic updates. Your workflows and settings are preserved through the switch, and you can delete the old copy afterward.
