Overview

The Force Reinstall plugin for WordPress is designed to simplify the process of reinstalling plugins or themes, particularly useful after encountering broken updates, potential malware issues, or when resetting modifications is necessary. With a single click, it temporarily flags the desired plugin or theme for an update, prompting WordPress to reinstall it without altering any existing files. This prompt is automatically reset upon visiting the updates page or updating an individual plugin or theme. Additionally, the plugin features non-intrusive ads in the backend to support its development and maintenance, ensuring users' plugins and themes remain intact and up-to-date while maintaining user privacy.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the plugin's effectiveness in reinstalling plugins, particularly for cleaning malware and fixing issues with botched plugin updates. It is easy to use and provides a practical, time-saving solution. However, users are frustrated by persistent nag screens requesting reviews, which do not disappear even after updates, reducing the overall user experience. Additionally, some users report issues with reinstalling premium plugins with expired licenses and lack of visual feedback indicating successful reinstallation, requiring reliance on alternative solutions like Sucuri Security for verification. Despite these drawbacks, the plugin remains highly regarded for its core functionality.

We found this plugin a month ago and it’s been insanely helpful for both cleaning off malware and repairing botched plugin updates. The only issue we’ve found is that it can’t reinstall premium plugins whose licenses have expired, but that’s not really the plugin’s fault. Overall, it’s a fantastic tool to have on hand.
