      Hello,
      Thank you for your question.

      You can update the extension version from the list of installed plugins in your WordPress installation.

      For more information about installing the URL extension, you can look at:

      There is no login for this product, since it uses a direct link to a file you would want to download and import from. The steps are described in ‘Import Using URL Extension’ section of the current user guide.
