A manual update for the WishList Member plugin can be done in the WordPress Plugins section.
You can delete the WishList Member plugin you have installed and can then upload the new version.
Please Note: All WishList Member settings, members, etc. are stored in the WordPress database so your settings, members would be retained during this process.
That being said, it is highly recommend to create a full and complete WordPress site/database back up before updating in case any unexpected issues occur.
It's a good idea to have a full back up of your WordPress site you can roll back to if you have any issues.
