 * Ok I’m getting ready to update WP and I’m bringing my plugin library current 
   as well. I just want to make sure that there are no problems upgrading from the
   Testimonial Widget Version 2.19.7 to the current version 3.0.4? Thanks!!

 * P, There’s no need to worry about data loss or problem when updating the plugin
   given that you don’t have the **Remove Plugin Data on Deletion?** option checked
   on the Settings page, Reset tab.
 * ## Update Plugin Using FTP
 * * Deactivate the current plugin
    * Download and unzip files locally * Upload 
   the directory to your website’s /wp-content/plugins/ directory * Be sure to overwrite
   your existing folder contents * Activate the plugin
 * ## Update Plugin Using WordPress
 * * Uncheck “Remove Plugin Data on Deletion?” on the Settings’ Reset tab and Save
   *
   Deactivate the current plugin * Delete the current plugin – Ignore the WordPress
   data deletion warning, it’s always there for plugins with uninstall methods. *
   Upload plugin via WordPress Admin > Plugins > Add New, Upload tab interface *
   Activate the plugin

 * Just curious if you don’t mind please, why not update it through the “update”
   option in the plugin area? Why actually delete the plugin? Thanks!!!

 * Sorry for the confusion. No there is no problem using the “update” option in 
   the plugin area to update the plugin, please go ahead and update your plugin 
   to latest version. 😀
