How to Fix "Sketch Plugin Not Working After Update"

Sketch plugins are essential for adding functionality to your design workflow, but sometimes they stop working after an update.

If your plugins are not working, the first step is to ensure that the plugins are compatible with your current version of Sketch.

Plugin developers often release updates to match Sketch’s new features or changes, so visit the plugin’s official page to check for updates.

If an update is available, install the latest version of the plugin.

If the plugin is up-to-date and still not working, try disabling and re-enabling the plugin within Sketch.

To do this, go to Plugins > Manage Plugins and toggle the plugin off and on again.

Another potential issue could be a conflict between plugins.

Some plugins may not play well with others, especially after updates to Sketch.

Disable all other plugins and try activating the one that’s causing issues.

If it works, re-enable the other plugins one by one to identify the conflicting plugin.

If disabling plugins doesn’t resolve the problem, try resetting Sketch’s preferences.

To do this, open Sketch > Preferences and click the Reset Preferences button.

This will reset Sketch to its default settings and can sometimes resolve plugin-related issues.

Additionally, you may want to try reinstalling the plugin from scratch.

Delete the plugin from the Plugins folder (found in ~/Library/Application Support/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/Plugins) and reinstall it via Sketch > Plugins > Manage Plugins > + to ensure the plugin is installed correctly.

If none of these methods work, contact the plugin’s developer or Sketch’s support team for further assistance.
