## Descrición

Allows plugins and themes to be updated using the standard WordPress plugin or theme
update process.

When you want to update a custom plugin or theme but don’t have an automated process

then you can use this plugin to allow you to install a new version of a plugin or
theme without having to delete the existing plugin or theme.

Tested with WordPress 6.4 and WordPress MultiSite.
 Note: This plugin is no longer
necessary. WordPress core functionality allows you to update existing plugins and
themes.

## Capturas

 * [[
 * Upload fails when allow-reinstalls is already installed but inactive
 * [[
 * Try again after activating the allow-reinstalls plugin
 * [[
 * Upload succeeds this time.

## Instalación

 1. Upload the contents of the allow-reinstalls plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/
    allow-reinstalls` directory
 2. Do nothing until you want to update another plugin or theme.

If you’ve attempted to upload a plugin and you’ve received the message that says

    ```
    Destination folder already exists. path-to/wp-content/plugins/your-plugin/

    Plugin install failed.
    ```

or you’ve attempted to upload a theme and got

    ```
    Destination folder already exists. path-to/wp-content/themes/your-theme/

    Theme install failed.
    ```

then you need to

 1. Activate the allow-reinstalls plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 2. Upload the plugin or theme you want to replace.
 3. Deactivate the allow-reinstalls plugin.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Does this work on WordPress MultiSite?

Yes. Use it as a super administrator.

### Can I downgrade a plugin or theme?

You’ll be able to do it, but whether or not the system works afterwards depends 
on the plugin or theme.

### Can I leave the plugin active?

No point.

### Why doesn’t WordPress allow this anyway?

It does now.

Safety and security; just in case you overwrite the latest version with a back level.

WordPress expects to receive most of its updates automatically, not via a manual
upload process.

Thank you for this plugin. It works very well. Use it instead of ‘Reinstall Plugins’
now on all our sites.
