If you’re still on ReviewX V1, moving to V2 is a free, in-place update — no new purchase, no manual data migration, and your existing reviews carry over automatically.
Before you update #
Back up your site and database first. Updates are generally safe, but it’s worth having a fallback for any change of this size.
Step 1: Update the plugin #
Go to wp-admin → Plugins → Installed Plugins, find ReviewX, and click Update Now.
Step 2: Run through Quick Setup #
After the update, the V2 onboarding wizard opens automatically. Go through it step by step (brand color, layout, criteria, photo reviews, review requests), or skip through with the defaults — nothing here is permanent, and every choice can be changed later. See Completing the Onboarding Wizard for details on each step.
Step 3: Sign in or create your account #
At the end of the wizard, sign in with your existing Client Portal email/password or license key, or click Create a Free Account if you don’t have one. This connects the plugin and starts the initial data sync.
What changes for you #
Existing reviews, criteria, and settings all carry over. V2 adds a cleaner admin interface, faster performance, and features that weren’t possible in V1’s architecture (Gutenberg blocks, the Tools page, per-page review limits, and more).
Changed your mind? V2 also supports a one-click rollback to V1 if needed.
