Overview

The Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades plugin addresses a significant limitation in WordPress by allowing users to upgrade existing themes or plugins directly using a zip file, a feature that standard WordPress installations lack. This plugin automatically handles the upgrade process and creates a backup of the old version to ensure a safeguard against potential issues with the new update. Notably, the plugin's functionality was enhanced in version 2.0.0 to automatically detect when an upgrade is needed, streamlining the upgrade process by eliminating the need for manual selection. This seamless approach ensures that users can easily keep their themes and plugins up to date without encountering the "destination already exists" error.

Automatic Upgrades

Automatically upgrades themes and plugins if they already exist.
No need to manually delete the old version before upgrading.

Backup Creation

Creates a backup copy of the old theme or plugin before upgrading.
Allows reinstallation of the old version in case of issues with the new version.

Simplified Process

No need to select options from a dropdown menu before upgrading.
Upload the theme or plugin as if installing it, and the plugin handles the upgrade automatically.

Fixes WordPress Limitation

Addresses the 'destination already exists' error when upgrading via zip file.
Enables seamless upgrades using the built-in WordPress feature.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades plugin for its simplicity, efficiency, and time-saving capabilities. They find it extremely useful, especially for updating premium themes and plugins without needing to uninstall old versions manually. It simplifies the process and auto-handles backups, reducing risks and hassles. However, some users report compatibility issues, citing errors or malfunctions, perceived slow updates, and lack of a dedicated interface, which could add initial confusion. There's also a suggestion for better-organized backup storage. Despite these drawbacks, many deem it indispensable for easy manual updates, even as similar functions integrate into newer WordPress versions.

I used this plugin in the past and recently on a WordPress 6.4.2 installation without problems. It does what it is supposed to do.

Add plugin results in “The plugin does not have a valid header.” Everything about this theme is low-grade and they are slow to update. I have over 100 themes and this is the only one that has continual update problems and even the recommended way of updating has problems. Pfft
