Solutions for Failed WordPress Version or Plugin Upgrades, however, neither article detailed how to
Manually Upgrade WordPress Plugins. This article provides a detailed introduction to the method of manually upgrading WordPress plugins.
Reasons for Manually Upgrading WordPress Plugins
Why is it necessary to manually upgrade WordPress plugins? Keeping WordPress versions and WordPress plugins up-to-date helps
improve website security. However, if you are using a domestic server, you may encounter instability in the server network connection to the WordPress update website, leading to upgrade failures.
Steps for Manually Upgrading WordPress Plugins
The method for manually upgrading WordPress plugins is similar to that for manually upgrading the WordPress version.
Note: After updating to WordPress 5.5, manually upgrading plugins only requires uploading the new version of the plugin directly from the backend again, which will prompt you whether to replace the old version. The following operations are no longer necessary.1. Download the installation file for the new version of the WordPress plugin. 2. Replace the old version of the WordPress plugin files.
Detailed step-by-step example:For example, the plugin in the image below prompts an update, but the network connection from the server to the WordPress update server is unavailable, causing the automatic update to fail. Therefore, manual update is the only option. First, click the deactivate button to disable the plugin (not mandatory, but recommended for safety).
Then, access the server's plugin folder via FTP or SSH, delete the folder of the plugin to be upgraded (or rename it to the old version). Next, download the new version of the plugin installation package from the WordPress website, and upload it via the backend plugin installation upload feature (or extract and upload via FTP).
Finally, activate the plugin.
