If there isn't a latest version of the plugin, what needs to be done? Do we still need to download the plugin file and upload it into the blocks folder? And what about the existing settings for the plugins? Will those be retained?

Hi, If an outdated plugin causes your upgrade to fail, you can usually delete the plugin code rather than uninstalling it from within Moodle so that the data associated with it is not deleted.

Hallo, if I currently use 4.1 version, should I upgrade to 4.1.11 or 4.2 to upgrade to 4.4 onwards? Thanks!

Hi, You can only upgrade to Moodle 4.4 from Moodle 4.1.2 or later. If upgrading from earlier versions, you must upgrade to 4.1.2 as a first step.
