Allows plugins and themes to be updated using the standard WordPress plugin or theme update process.<\/p>\n\n
When you want to update a custom plugin or theme but don't have an automated process\nthen you can use this plugin to allow you to install a new version of a plugin or theme\nwithout having to delete the existing plugin or theme.<\/p>\n\n
Tested with WordPress 6.4 and WordPress MultiSite.\nNote: This plugin is no longer necessary. WordPress core functionality allows you to update existing plugins and themes.<\/p>\n\n\n
\/wp-content\/plugins\/allow-reinstalls<\/code> directory<\/li>\n- Do nothing until you want to update another plugin or theme.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
If you've attempted to upload a plugin and you've received the message that says<\/p>\n\n
Destination folder already exists. path-to\/wp-content\/plugins\/your-plugin\/\n\nPlugin install failed.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nor you've attempted to upload a theme and got<\/p>\n\n
Destination folder already exists. path-to\/wp-content\/themes\/your-theme\/\n\nTheme install failed.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nthen you need to<\/p>\n\n
\n- Activate the allow-reinstalls plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
- Upload the plugin or theme you want to replace.<\/li>\n
- Deactivate the allow-reinstalls plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nDoes this work on WordPress MultiSite?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Use it as a super administrator.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I downgrade a plugin or theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYou'll be able to do it, but whether or not the system works afterwards depends on the plugin or theme.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I leave the plugin active?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo point.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Why doesn't WordPress allow this anyway?<\/h3><\/dt>\nIt does now.<\/p>\n\n
Safety and security; just in case you overwrite the latest version with a back level.<\/p>\n\n
WordPress expects to receive most of its updates automatically, not via a manual upload process.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Where can I read more?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
