Easy Zip Update

Contributors: Mike Nelson

WordPress plugin that makes updating a Plugin or Theme from a Zip file easier. Just upload using WordPress' normal plugin/theme zip uploader. (Instead of deactivating it, deleting it, THEN uploading it, and reactivating it.)

Usage

  1. Click "Clone or download" link in top-right of this GitHub page, then "Download Zip".
  2. Follow these instructions to upload the zip file on your site and activate it.
  3. Now, whenever you want to update a plugin, go to Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin, and upload the new version of the plugin, and click "Install Now", as if it were a new plugin. Normally WordPress would give an error, saying the plugin already exists, but with this plugin activated, it will instead update the plugin.
